Tainted page

by InvisibleHourglass   Nov 1, 2007


Blood dripped from a paper cut on my finger
that my favorite book gave me
staining the pages red
the words that assured safety
stained.
Tainted.
drying,
never to leave that page
always to remind me
that fiction won't always save me

    Short and beautiful words explaining a lot, Precise and up to the point. Very creative and impressive altough the poetic quality of rhyming is not visible on the surface. Poetic and lexically strong in its own way

    Love it
