"The sharp edge of life"


Poem Artwork

Like a Knife

On the knife
Of this life
I live on the blade
And not the handle
 
My light on
Until dawn
My burning candle
Both ends unafraid
 
It makes it hard to sleep
When you live where
The drop is sheer and steep
And when you care
 
I want to stay awake
To burn both ends
My mirror does not break
Because it bends
 
My light will be on
As long as it takes
All night until dawn
Bends mirrors and breaks
 
My map to the stars
Drawn in battle scars
My burning candle
Both ends unafraid
 
Love is like a knife
The sharp edge of life
And this knife is made
Without a handle

Excellent. The message to me in this poem, Steven, if indeed
you intend a message, is that you do not hesitate to live. -gene.
