Deeper Than Any Blade
A poem is like a candle
that brings human feelings to light:
moving like a stubbled shadow
across the face of tomorrow.
And its rhythm should be inviting:
soliciting raw emotions
from within the depths of your soul;
where both Angels and Demons dwell.
Its language should be conversant:
conveying the poet's message
in a relatable fashion;
emotional and personal.
And it should be free of the lies
that ignorance perpetuates:
exposing feelings, wizened words
oft cut deeper than any blade.
