Down the Drain

I went to paper today,
But had nothing to tell.

Always my pen can sing sweet words
To a reader and his mind's labyrinth,

But the words are lost today
Like whiskers down the drain.

My pen does not sing the rocks in my head;
The quiet becomes disturbing.

However, once the whiskers are gone,
There's no way back up the drain.

Next time I find some words,
I will hold on to them tighter.
