Subject: Falling Through Unseen Cracks

I see the letters of my words descend then disappear;
My hand still writes gripping pen so gently to paper,
Tip swirling in familiar circles yet no ink flows.
Where do the memories hide at times like this?

Life blood of my thoughts gone and too late to see;
I would speak them but my tongue is caught in claw,
A paw so soft on chin at first I dared to trust it.
So go forgone days of furry feelings and kitten love.

If I can think it then why can I not write it?
This hidden thing holding my mind in quiet limbo,
Expressions leaping from my brain to sadly suffocate.
What is this hell which burns words with nothingness.

Now this poet remembers his final poem he wrote first.
I'll offer one more if you look closely into my eyes,
Hurry fast for when eyelids close it will be my last.
Still you will have read my entire poetic essence.
