Bleeding Pen

The bleeding pen I was born sick and poetry is the ink of my disease Was born blind but art gave me vision I am the bleeding pen. Wounded for my thoughts Betrayed by my own darkness Freedom dressed in bondage I am the bleeding pen. Crying out for the poor Banging on heaven's door Noise dressed in silence I am the bleeding pen. Jokes sound tragic Reality turns magic Sanity dressed in madness I am the bleeding pen . In pain still I rise Till my fire bring forth ice My Blood dressed in ink I am the bleeding pen. #benarmani(lines&letters)

Benson, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
