Breathing Poetry

This hunger for phrases still incomplete fiercely engulfs me, rummaging and drowning my thoughts to slay the winds and honor my madness. When I feel something lighting my mind, a starburst, a craving, a dream... this virus from a soul quite delirious spreads over me like wildfire flowing through the marrow of veins. Again , each poem becomes my breath; another strain from heavens's chime feeling the trickles raking in my navel, a tattered quill spinning with midnight... Not accepting sleep, I'm on the brink of a wind's edge holding life’s grail as traces of dawn freeze... until my verse's breath wakes into a psalm. Poetry And Me : Silent One's Contest 2/22/2019
