Blankless

As I stare at these pages

Blank without words

With out expressions of any kind

Without anything

At anytime

As I blankly look at these

Abandon pages wondering

No pondering

What to say

Or how am I going to say it.

Blankless without words

Not expressed by words

But emotions by words

Elected and approved by

The poet as he put it on paper

Or try to put together

But my mind just won’t let me.

I missed those words

Climbing out of my head

Like toy soldiers out to play---

Playing war

At some point of time

But slowly but surely

One by one

They do come

And they go

Until I am satisfied.

But until then----

But until I will think

Until my thinking is clear

My mind refreshed with words----

Beautiful words put on paper

And I won’t be blankless

Pointless,

Until the point

My mind just becomes

Like a desert

Dry, hot and endless traveling

Further and further away.

Blankless

Without words

Until the pages comes alive

And flows freely

Said I.
