words trickle down

from a wound

I have no intention of healing

that stretches like a tight-rope

between creativity & madness. . .

in its shadow. . . I first

embrace sadness & imperfection

dormant idiosyncrasies

preferenced neurosis

addictive blemishes

uninhibited corners

defensive quirks

reacton time. . .

encounter bewilderment of the elements

earth~water~fire~air~ether~union

brave countlesss untitled flames

& insufferable distractions

still. . .

my ink bleeds to sing

Perhaps the poet has no intention of healing the wound because it makes for great poetry, eh? And great poerty is definitely your forte. Smile!

Smile!

That last line is a killer.

Your words are relentless and filled with shadows; beautiful and ripe with emotion. What lovely imagery... It takes a strong heart to embrace darkness, especially one's own. A reflective piece that provokes the soul to look in the mirror. Excellent read, I thank you for sharing it with us. *smiles*
