A Poet's Art And Agony

Unassuming
a poet bleeds words
humbly on
parchment or page,
pouring out his
deepest emotions
in a gentle, rhythmic
flowing wave.

So, as if it does not hurt,
as if the world
did not exist,
I spill out my heart
in a schematic list
being flayed alive,
the words a catalyst.

Ahhh…

rolling off the tongue,
such sweet words,
as can be contrived
float across the page,
double entendre
hidden within verbs
as the ink and tears
easily set the stage.

Let us make
the anguish flow
let take us down
a solitary road
where there is
no one to
come and go
only a universe
of unseen sorrows.

The poet´s
empathic display
of chosen,
exquisite words
multitudes of
themes and topics
all instruments
of his art and agony.
