This is where I get to be me -- whomever I am on that particular day.

Dire Need

Hunched over the desk, I write,
Struggling to communicate
My ideas, fears and beliefs.
Heart and soul on display

Each word is pondered and polished,
Mined for its meaning and mystery --
My blood upon the page
A bid for immortality

But as books molder,
Words and memories fade.
Immortality is left to chance
Or resurrection

Why write, then? Why bleed
With no one to remember?
I write to quiet my soul,
To ease the blade in my heart.
Life not only possible, but bliss.
