POETRY: 'An Origin' by Ivan Mote II

An Origin
By Ivan Mote II

My pen infiltrates the notebook, leaving the paper to bleed with an idea that acts on its own.
Hands start to quake from words and palms begin to sweat with anxiety.
The increase of a heart rate causes the nerves to go on edge.
A brainstorm forms into a tsunami, then the irreconcilable force grows by feeding off the soul.
Tranquil surroundings around me have converted to wave patterns; swishing and swaying to the rhythm of my subconscious.
Then the finale.
A sun sets transverses my eyes, blinding me to the corrupt world, conspicuously coloring in the mistakes of my past with burgundy crayola.
Vitals gradually return to normal, and I have now returned to reality…
I have just written a poem.
