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.
