The Atramentous Me

She's a whisper, a gentle breeze

a soft and sturdy canopy

that wordless watches over me

her tender touch is all I need

to release the beast, set him free

and calm this rage inside of me

when black is all my heart can be

she is the only one I need 



The droplets slowly crying down,

dripping , hollow, beyond my frown

my morbid soul scratching around

the ancient soil and wanton ground,

crazed in search I've finally found

a glow, through my mind's battleground,

this light of love that shines profound,

radiates from your heart, unbound
