The long hiatus from creativity & my poems
is like a leech crawling under the skin;
I am itching to restart my journey with words
but.. where do I start? how do I start?

Thought of penning about my perennial thought,
Olive & my life revolving around her;
The more I ponder over this I keep wondering
where do I start? how do I start?

Unless I start with something… anything
few rhymic words to read, to hum or to sing
I took up my pen & paper and then I wondered
where do I start? how do I start?

Its not easy to restart once stopped
Its not difficult to resign mid-way
“Inertia,” they say but all I ask is
where do I start? how do I start?
