Walk in the shadows of poets

Writing bleeds me

Words are drugs

Sentences of therapy

Writing because of a need as one does

Like to stop at a guess…..yes

Have no need for the poetic seed

Find something else for my personal greed

Walk away and find another way with this life to pay

Every poem takes

Every poem breaks

Every poem forsakes

No room or time to negotiate

It's no good

But at I am bloody good

Poor but wealthy

Loving rapped up in hostility

God cursed

Demons praised

When they saw my lost half smiling gaze

I would be lying saying I have no regrets

Learning to walk in the shadows of poets
