Learn the two basic shapes of chords on a piano (minor and major triads). Then move those shapes around the keyboard and look for combination that you like.
When you have 4-8 chords in a pattern, try recording and looping them.
This will be the basis for your composition. With this in place, you can experiment either with other virtual instruments to improvise a melody, use a beat machine to make a drum pattern underneath, etc etc.
A good way of inventing melodies would be singing them first.
