Poems of Flesh and Blood

Literature Lore

From time to time

From rhyme to rhyme

You haven't left my side. 

For you have been my guide

I ride through every journey hoping that it will all flow on paper

From the sun to the snow

Pen in my hand as I grow

You help me say why I have been forsaken

Standing alone in my tower as my horrors try to break in 

Shaking from the judgment

There you are with your holy ink to cast them away 

As you say, "This won't be another doomsday!" 

I look up with tears dripping before my eyes hating that I could see how broken I was meant to be 

No matter the crime 

You'll never leave me in this lifetime 

I find comfort in the clickety-clack of the keys putting everything inside me on the screen 

I watch as the words come all together letter to letter 

I'm what they call a typesetter

Nose into book for it's got me on a hook 

Each chapter is my captor who'll never let me go cause it has me in a chokehold

and strangely, there's no fear inside me 

As I walk down the paths between the lines of many paragraphs 

I am reborn once the title changes for it's vital to my survival

Thank you for giving me meaning and now I can stop screaming
