My Pen Will Tell the Tales

I'm  under the weather of 
raging ravenous ravens
feathers--vultures gliding
awaiting the corpses
of my bleeding thoughts,
and my wounded pen.

The carvings that furnished
the sanctuary my once empty 
thoughts, and whatever 
darken  
words written on the tablets 
of my heart won't be 
forsaken  
by my pen.
  
My pen will tell the tales of  
the moon-less night that 
buried 
me under rubbles of falling 
darkness 
after the walls of the shy 
shaken.

My pen will tell the tales of the 
tears that streams down the 
cannons my cheeks, to wash 
away 
the blood that's oozed from 
my 
Wrists, when I try to leak the 
aches that's aching.  

My pen will tell poignant tales
that will stain memories
