Literature
BLOOD AND POETRY
An alphabet of blood trails my pen as
it dips into the inkwell of my mind,
bleeding prettily onto paper bleached
by the milk the thirsty Night drinks-
until the blood from my pen scribbles
a rhythm out of sync-to the Inspiration
that ignites the pages I tear free from
my mind's literary spine, Creativity is
the only Passion I know, singing somewhere
between the sick and healthy veins that
fight to claim my life, but Sanity is
an illusion and Insanity is the only
reality I know, so I will continue to
follow the thread of Stars, and open
my eyes even wider so they will continue
to fall into me, their frozen lives will
melt away
