Words

These words I write to fill in blanks
Till empty has less more
With a paper on a stand
A scripture seems more pure

I wrote what’s red the pen that bled
You feel the words that pour
The painted signs with deep lead lines
Eased all my times of gore

I wrote these things
On blank I sing
A surface for a weary king
Of all machines utensils work
To sounds of heaven whistle rings

These words I write
To smite the plain
Confusion loss and 
Pain remain

On this paper
I leave my pain

These words I write
For meaning
