Poetry and I Are On a First Name Basis

poetry knows my name haunting me throughout the silence of the night culling me into a false sense of warmth and security here take this poisoned quill it whispers fill the ink bottle with your tears and blood scribble all that pain upon this leathered parchment every l e t t e r reverberating from my frayed n e r v e s bloodshot eyes from countless sleepless days With each e x h a l a t i o n I can feel the life slowly begin to leave my weary body r e c o r d the past traumas one last time write erase rewrite until i get every meticulous detail right don’t want to suffer these injustices for an e t e r n i t y purge the bitter acid from the pit of my stomach cleanse the narcissistic abuse from my waking nightmares feverishly fill saline soaked book after book until the final microscopic b r e a t h leaves this shaking body place the quill between ground down teeth bite down and swallow the poison concluding the closing chapter of this misguided maddening e x i s t e n c e

Creative and thought-provoking poetry, Sara. I'll be following your poetry and hope you'll follow mine so we can get to know each other ... anyone that's a friend of Ink Empress is someone I want to read and know. Welcome to Poetry Soup. My wife writes here also under the name: Sara Etgen-Baker. Have a great stay here at the Soup! A poet friend in the making, Bill
