Notes About The Poem

Writing Words Gossamer

 
my words are gossamer, diaphanous    
                 and wispy
         my lines    cobwebs of chiffon
I pen in blood ink 
     sublime are my      thoughts
rapturous       I write into the night
     turning words into poetry
from deep within            I pull emotions
   bleeding, bleeding from my pen . . . 
is my     brokenness        and eternal
                      grief . . . 
slowly, I remove the red soaked dagger
    from my heart 
              and the pain is dripping, dripping
and the pieces of my heart lay
    beneath my pen . . . like shards of glass
but, I use every shattered fragment                
      all those pieces     that are me
                    and in time                    
I have used each piece      each one  
   for I have found a strength
         unfathomable . . . in writing
