From the Midst of Darkness
It was in my darkest moments that
I found I wrote my best
Like a volcano my emotions
would explode from the caldera of my soul
Molten nouns, verbs and adjectives
poured forth from somewhere deep within
Flooding every line like a tsunami hitting the beach
Swelling red hot rivers of ink burned up every page
While plumes of hurt flung pain in all directions
And pyroclastic flow's of tears roared down my burning cheeks
Thus; it is in my darkest moments that I find I write my best
Written from the perspective of a hurting poet
