Without You
 
I haven’t written 
In my journal
For a number of days.
It seems hard to put thoughts
In a gift to explore
My inner self.
But I believe 
It all boils down
To the power 
Left behind in a lyrical rhapsody.
Maybe I would
Feel better if I could
Connect expressions to paper?
Even though it is in my midst,
Nobody is here 
To listen to what I have to say.
Isn’t it strange,
If not ironic
That talking to myself
Is a communicative breakdown
That needs a fix? 

If this is writer’s block,

Then maybe the inspiration
It once had,
Won’t return 
To leave a part of me
In this journal
Without you?
The Legacy
 
People need Connectors 
Writers, heroes, stars, leaders
To give life form.
 
I am a poet
Connecting to the above excerpt. 
Without being to egotistical,
I’d like to think
That what I leave here,
Somebody would surely bond 
To the fact that writing poetry
Is about digging into your life.
And if I told you
That I was a little crazy
Because I have to do this,
Then would that be enough
To leave something behind
And give you the idea
That this poem 
And others to follow 
Will only enhance my dreams?
I am here
To make you feel
The energy of my existence.
And since I am influenced,
Doesn’t that tell you
I have the heritage within
To fulfill a legacy?
