A Poem, the Poet

This pen writes not a story, but a life upon a page; its glory. Love for the writing; the heart, thumping, beat after beat, never apart. Conceived of bones, the ash; this pen, to ink bleeding veins, attached. A cut, this scrap; of emotions peeled. The scaring tissue; with Soul is healed. Lightning arcs through nerve endings' link; Dreams are sparks. Thoughts, the ink. Not a story, but a life and a pen. For this is a poet, his poem with no end.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
