Gathering Darkness
2005
I started writing
Quite some time ago.
It was new and exciting
And I found myself drunk with pleasure
At the knowledge that I could create a world,
Of my own.
At the thought that I could cause
Chaos throughout a universe,
Terrorize a kingdom with immortal beasts,
Make just about anyone fall in love, and
Create such power that as I write,
Tears creep from eyes and down my cheeks.
And yet…
As I have grown, matured, and lived,
I find myself foreign to that
Once,
Truly joyous feeling.
I struggle,
Trying so hard to remember that feeling that came in
The beginning.
The emotion and determination that started my life as a writer.
I search desperately but,
I can’t find it.
The magic has faded.
