i am
a man of verse
a blessing 
or a curse
ideas 
like sparkles across the mind
i grasp
only to find
they slip away
like footprints in the sand
returning
to the sea from land

a frustrating exercise
to say the least
to enter the cage
and tame the beast
but it's a calling
i will not shirk
because success
is life, not work
