is the pen
supposed to weigh
for the content it does make?

writing poetry
a spectrum runs 
For love and light
to the dark and heavy .

Why then does the pen weigh more 
for some when writing 
love and light?

Oh to have nothing else to do 
than to pick up my pen
and spin verse on end.

A poet's happiness 
is in the ability 
to write endless verse.

Tenderness spread

from the pen to the heart,

the writing is the moment

when the poetry helps to 

tear the world apart.



the pain, the darkness,

are all washed away.

the soul is lit 

when you with verse

do play .

As you should write 
Reality is a matter of perspective 
Still unique to you 

Please do put thought
On the topics of the 
Epic words 
That you are 
Inscribing to 
Calm the world down 
As you should always think before you poem.

expression is not 
                    hiding from emotions 
                    speaking cryptically 
                    forgetting about it 
                    finding the idea of life in others 

expression is 
                    writing anything in poetry 
                    speaking your truth 
                    being your authentic self 
                    giving in to your own creativity 

welcome to the world 
the poetry for it is but 
the way the heart explains 
itself to the ignorant.

picking up the pen 
to write the verse 
frees the soul.

If you need me 
look in my poetry.

no other place 
exists so much of 
who I am.

the words say 
what I cannot 
in a way that feels right.

Caustic ink burns
as the ink is carved

poetry is another expression
of the heart's desires

burning design
onto the paper
perhaps it is but
the answer to dreams 

when the cold comes in
the pen freezes off,
poetry seems to spread 
the warmth that the world needs.

so shake away the cold
and pick up the pen,
write the world 
a much needed poem.
