Poetry - Pen and Paper

by Avrii Monrielle   Oct 18, 2006


It can break my heart

My poetry houses words
My soul wishes to speak
My voice wants to yell
My heart needs to beat

From my wrists drip imaginary blood
Angels watch over me with love
Lovers kiss me on the neck
And I taste the sharpest cheddar cheese

My thoughts are explored,
My promises aren't broken,
I can get through another day,
And smile.

That smile might mean nothing or be invisible
Or better, a simple laugh
Knowing that my friend is listening
My friend named Poetry

The friend who brought me to life
When I wanted to die
The friend who made me smile
When I wanted to cry

In touch and tied with imaginary string
Strung around my heart
Is my favorite
Poetry

It can break my heart or make me sigh
Want to die or reconsider life
Know what it's like to be abused
And most of all, discover the truth

The truth, for
Poetry can never lie.
No matter how many years
Or how many times.

Poetry is the grace and passion
That is dropped like bouquets
Down from heaven
O, beloved poetry

The heart and soul
Cry out through its words
Formed from thoughts to ink
Poetry - pen and paper
