Sometimes it happens that I have a melody in my head and a few words I wish to write but I don’t know to whom I am writing.
It is frustrating because I am not the type to write a poem for the sake of writing. Though it is rare that the target (in the case of writing love poems) ever sees the work I still like to know who I am writing to. And when I get words and music but no face I am frustrated. I am frustrated even more when I get multiple faces, so that I could write the words to any of the women I am thinking of or currently infatuated with.
In fact, I have come to realize that maybe I enjoy the company of women as people of beauty far too much. It should never be the case that I am ready willing and creative but haven’t a clue as to who I should write to.
In times like that I am tempted to just scrap the whole idea or better still to just write to whoever I am torn between and see which one comes out better. That way it’s a win-win for me and my art and none of the women are the wiser.
Its difficult to be a single artist infatuated with several women.
About Me
- S.R. Alexander
- Washington DC, United States
- Following the footsteps of literary greats, I use a pen name in replace of my birth name. It is not that I am ashamed of my work, and thus put a pseudo name in front of it, but rather that I need the freedom to speak without the worries of my fame or infamy disrupting the peace of my private life. In short I am Clark Kent and Alexander is Superman.
