The Poem

Stars blaze the night 
While a pen of tears 
Smears words across, 
A white sheet of fears 
  
Letting out your soul 
To breathe a verse 
Something you seek 
No need to rehearse 
  
A powerful statement 
The thoughts from within 
A time taking pain 
Once you finally begin 
  
A constant word play 
Descriptive and woven 
The purest of feelings 
Are the ones you’ve chosen 
  
To write and recite 
Put down in words 
Because balls of paper 
Will never be heard.
