Poem 3: The Paradox of Words

40 1 0
                                    

Line after line

I slash through mercilessly

Running them through with the sword-tip of

My brutal pen

I watch then suffocate under

Iron bars

Of blue poison

They glisten

Blood on a battlefield

Then soak in

Softly

Die

Die.

Die.

My saviours on

Dark nights,

The only things I can

Express myself with,

Now they let me down,

I fumble for

The right ones.

But they remain

Blurred

Through the wet eyelashes.
