Release From Hell What Poetry Is To Me

The written word is a release from hell,
Every day life;
Sometimes one can’t tell,
That one can live mundane and full of strife.

Inner thoughts escape free in form,
The anguish lost in the soul somewhere to the east;
Ideas formed in love and hate from an emotional  storm,
The words ebb from the soul to rend the hidden beast.
