Best Poems Written by Jacob Menefee

The Masterpiece

His heart pumped love

and on that day that he was defeated

and needed to see it, he slit wrists

and proceeded to bleed it,

he dipped pen tip to its crimson cascade,

opened his notebook and wrote his last page

in a flowing script that screamed his peace

even took the time to dot the i's two times apiece

and as he finished he smiled at all of his light in it

at his joy and his strife in it, his death and his life in it

and he broke his smile for the last breath at least

to name his death, his poem, his life "The Masterpiece"
