lately i cant seem to conjure a smile
my graphite finger slips over mailla pages
staining them grey
grey that refuses to smile
eyes sparkle
calling wayward travelers to the pages
but cheeks wont rise
lips wont part
and the smudges remain motionless
empty
and refuse to feel

I HATE WRITER'S BLOCK
Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength.

Wow, I really like this. It took me a couple times to read it through before I understood, but once I grasped what you were saying, I fell in love with the imagery you used. (It was enough to make me miss writing with pencil and paper instead of my computer!) This is a perfect description of what writer's block is like, at least in my eyes. Great job.

“Can a magician kill a man by magic?” Lord Wellington asked Strange. Strange frowned. He seemed to dislike the question. “I suppose a magician might,” he admitted, “but a gentleman never could.”
