Bleeding Books


open wounds spilling
letters to the floor swept
up by eyelashes between blinks
staring in a page turning ritualistic
musty thump on  hard leather bound
stitched and scarred from pink fingernails
painted for the yellowing dog-eared hero
who never shows in the night
weeping black and lonely

Robert Barcus


if you can dream; you can fly...if you are flying; you are dreaming.

Old or new, heck, they're all new to me  

I like this one, and the image it brings across...sad, but I like it nontheless!

I think most of us are posting are 'old' poems here. Nothing wrong with that. I do know the feeling though of needing to write new things. Well, when you do, be sure to post them! Can't wait!

RobertB~
I have missed you ...
been scrounging through the archives
to find and read you.
Thanks for surfacing.
Will anxiously await a 'newbie' -
but will enjoy the oldies all the same.
