Every drop of ink I use- Is like a drop of blood… A bit of essence of myself- A seeming, endless flood. Revealing secrets unconfessed- Obligations yet unmet… A glimpse into my inner parts… Some don’t care, and most forget. A glimpse of what I might have been- And many things I never was.. And yet I write, and write again.. Oh, tell me.. is there not a cause? A cause! Why yes! To carve our names Like children do on restroom walls- Desiring but to leave a trace… In life… before the Shadow calls. Yet I am less, the more I write… With loss of essence, we all shrink… As blood from wrists, which have been slashed We die with every drop of ink. |

Wonderful...expect I totally disagree with the end...I LIVE with every drop of ink. Maybe that's not as 'poetic' but it's truth. j. |

True talent is the ability to create and to comunicate your thoughts to those who appreciate them. It is a gift to others and one is never diminished by giving. Ida |
