The Pen and Paper

The pen came down
on the crushed fiber

Blood stained paper
became a red foliage dried by sunbeams

Thoughts filled the syringe
until death could write no more

The final dropped released
with the last breath of life

Sorrow was cast through a scattered book
of lost love for all to read

stained words and memories
forever lay in a library that only one holds the key
