Born To Bleed Onto Eager Page, What Fate Has This Life Decreed
Born To Bleed Onto Eager Page, What Fate Has This Life Decreed
Born bloodied poet, writing of Life, Love, Truth and Hurting
pain, when words come by bits and drabs, instead of by spurting
Nights of heaven watching, earth's canopy of sweeping skies
days with ink and pen toiling, oft 'til soul lets out its cries!
Born to harvest delicious fruits, from bountiful verse trees
inking in realms, devoid of life's worries and ghastly fees
Weighing words for balance and rhymes by their resplendent scores
Homer, Keats, Poe and others calling from paradise shores!
Born to bleed on eager page, what Fate has this life decreed
living while from open veins write, as a true poet bleeds
Cherished, this that oft in sorrow is thought to be a curse
pleading poetry's return, as its absence pains far worse!
Born bloodied poet, writing of Life, Love, Truth and Hurting
pain, when words come by bits and drabs, instead of by spurting
Nights of heaven watching, earth's canopy of sweeping skies
days with ink and pen toiling, oft 'til soul lets out its cries!
