If I get blocked on something I can usually move onto some other writing. And if I'm completely blocked on all writing, I work on some music.(less)

Write as much as you can, as often as you can. Write and rewrite. And read. Read everything, not just the genre that you write it, but all styles of poetry, or genres of books; you never know where inspiration, an idea might come from. (less)

“NIGHT TIME PASSIONS

My tongue remembers your name.
It whispers it to itself
at night, thinking I am asleep,
not realising its linguistic dance
is keeping me from slumber.

My tongue remembers your taste too,
but keeps those wet memories
to itself,

no matter how much I ask.”
Edward Lee, The Madness of Qwerty

“SECRET SMILE

End your day
with a secret smile
on your face.”
Edward Lee, The Madness of Qwerty

“THIS

This is a moment
to remember, this,
our breaths still heavy,
the smell of summer gentle
through the window,
the sound of the world,
not even a distraction,

the words ‘I love you’
unneeded.”
Edward Lee, The Madness of Qwerty
