Poetic Seeping

Crazed beyond this fragile manuscript
  ink now bled out in caustic flow
emptying my mind of the clutter
  pouring from a heart beat’s mechanism
grinding gears of rusted thoughts
  handwriting illegibly unrecognizable 
scratched into burned edge parchment
  pleading for destinations
across borderlines and wastelands
  calloused fingers write…poetry
between broken dishes and pot luck cuss words
  folded, creased and left lying on the desk
gathering deadly dust particles
  behind the barricaded door
of cranial creativity…
                                     seeping

Yep. It's a surefire golden poem, Chris. The vivid expressions of the leakage of creativity is so artful. Great job on this one. Lube up the old noggin' w/some of nature's fruit juices, that'll get you going. Love the poem though. Love and many blessings to you.

Yep, just pour me a glass and I'll be writing something before long, but too many glasses and it might be tomorrow before I can read what I wrote. :) Thanks so much Freddie, your comments are always a wonderful gift to me.
