Timothy Kashorek - Inspiration

What gives inspiration? <br />Why must it often be <br />a dark unforgettable <br />tragety <br />or dissaster <br /> <br />Why cant I write <br />just to write <br />of trees <br />or natures beauty? <br /> <br />I've tried <br />but my trees <br />burned and died <br />My inspiration <br />black as the ash <br />from the times <br />I have burned <br /> <br />The missed chances <br />The unclear, dark future <br />And the love I'm <br />missing out on <br /> <br />Why must my inspiration <br />be dark <br />Will it take a miracle <br />like the return of <br />my butterfly <br />to change my <br />inspiration? <br /> <br />I hope the past <br />will stop replaying <br />and give me a rest <br />from the misery <br />it plauges me with <br />The stuff of nightmares <br /> <br />I laugh at the thought <br />of my inspiration changing <br />It seems so permanent <br />Unchanging <br />Dark <br /> <br />If only the one thing <br />could happen <br />that could change <br />my inspiration <br />If only<br /><br />Timothy Kashorek<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/inspiration-69/
