I hadn't written for a while
And I didn't know why,
So I went to find Feeling
And talk to Heave and Sigh.
They were at the movies
So I decided to go as well,
Just to sit beside them
And ...dwell.
As I walked into the cinema
A couple rushed in late,
It was none other than
Plan & Co-incidence, out on a date!
"This is great!", I thought
"All emotions together, right there,
I bet this will help me write
Although I don't see Truth anywhere."
Nevertheless, sitting in dark corner
I watched the scenes go by,
Just when Time called out to me
And I knew the end was nigh.
The story was confusing
Or was there story none?
I wasn't even aware
That I was missing Fun.
As the reel rolled on
Credits showed up on the screen,
I hadn't spotted Clue, or Idea
And Impatience was nudging me.
"This is not productive"
I thought to myself aloud,
"How can I produce a work of art
When Reality isn't around."
I kept staring at the blank screen
When Sadness gave a cry,
Telling me she had sued a crocodile
For stealing her tears & running them dry.
Disappointed, I walked back home
Greeted at the door by Rhyme,
And I smiled to myself
"At least she is mine!"
It was right there, always at home
The Thought, the Prose, the Why,
And all this while I'd been looking for Inspiration
In a home that belonged to Lie.
