I love nothing, life said to me.
Sweet nothings.
I love the sweet, expectant nothingness of an empty page!
I was swept away by the glorious, wonderful, empty page!
Cause I'm trying to compare life to a piece of paper
What you have written on it is what you have in your path
It could be a short-term goal with a single paragraph
Or a long-term goal with a page and a half
But it doesn't matter because it's just a piece of paper!
When I was a newly born baby, I wanted to write a poem with my tender lips on my mother's bare chest!
But, lost myself before I write all those nascent words in my mother's sweeping smiles, looking into my eyes with an extended feeding of life's elixir! I left there like an unexpressed empty page!

Everyone has a story that needs to be said
And when Shakespeare said "Life's a stage",
It means you have a role that needs to be read
And you know that you can't read it if you don't have one!!
When I wanted to write the youthful zest ---
I stared at the blank page, and wonder what I am going to write because the words need to flow, and I need to get it right! I don't want to hide my love from the world, I just need to express how I feel, and get my point across, without being open book or too sentimental. I sat here to write my love story...
I just need the words to flow from the pen to the paper and did not leave a word unspoken, as rhyme follows rhyme, and emotions, and descriptions magically flow, creating colors onto a literary canvas, to show my quivers while swaying in the fast pace of love's boat which started sailing into a far off place with Him in it!
But... but, I was so engaged in his vigorous enthusiasm, forgot to copy-paste the gusto and passion on that empty page! It has remained there as the sole witness of my romantic verve! I have no idea when it folded itself to hide from my sight while I was engaged in life's different phases! I was a warrior of dreams, a winner of thoughts, and an occasional slave to a few wishes and vices! Forgot about that blank page while filling joy in my heart!

Now I stood in the last scene of my life's drama! Glaring at all the previous scenes with empty eyes! Inadvertently started a dialogue with the blank page fluttering in front of me... about to fly!
Hello, my dear blank page, I’m here to let you know, you hold no fear for me , I come prepared to write something on you ... I am a writer, a writer armed with fearless words, and clever, tenacious ideas, yes... life taught me many things, with an experience I gained command over expressions!
Your unmarked surface, your dazzling, papery blankness, is no match for a word warrior, such as me! I shall stare you down, I shall annoy you, I shall employ you, just watch as you yield to the irresistible spread of my words! Within no time, bit by bit, your landscape will be transformed
your emptiness filled, you hold no fear for me Blanky- Blank Page!
Searched for a pen to write, alas, fingers started trembling... eyes started blurring, breath was struggling to sustain, the curtains started down, with glee, the empty paper fluttering there in front of my lifeless body!
No one succeeded to date to fill it up!! Still, it is empty, fluttering there in every breath of a newborn baby!!
