I Write …

A Poem

Photo by Aaron Burden on Unsplash

I Write, With hand to heart And mind aloft I covet my next word; I stand erect And shout out clear Damn, I will be heard.

I write, With pen in hand and tears within these eyes I never close; I dare not bend But will offend E’er follow the path I chose.

A writer’s life Is not their own A Muse upon their soul A constant shrill A latent thrill A dance that takes its toll

I write, To make you laugh To make you cry A wish to stay, ne’er say goodbye I want my words To pierce your soul But never shall you die

I write, Oh, mercy mercy Listen for each sound A whispered cry for aid And in their end There will be light And meaning to each word

A writer’s life Is not their own A muse does want her debt A favored glance A brief romance But ne’er will we regret.
