sometimes my words hits a vein
so much so
the poem leaks blood
I've forgiven everybody
except the one who seared my soul
so my pen pierces a vein
an artery maybe
diluting the ink which courses through it
its all symbolic anyway
don't'ja'know
its better than writing on my skin
in the vein it is hidden
and I can act
as if it doesn't damage me
pretending
hiding from truth
words about broken dreams
dreams can be purchased
with a handfull
of falling stars
maybe a measure of self-respect
are my words
mightier than my traumatized backward glances

Your words cut like a knife, and go straight for the jugular. Well done and Happy New Year Jerry.

Some of the best lines ever written were written in blood. And probably some of the worst (Charles Manson). But your words often bleed freely on the page to our delight.

"except the one who seared my soul" as far as I am concerned Jerry, your words will always be mightier then the festered wound of ignorant people. I love your beautiful tender heart, may it continue beating for the next year and the next and the next, Until God decides to lay you in his loft next to the angels. Have a wonderful year , Jer, love and hugs. xo

"Dreams can be purchased //
with a handful //
of falling stars."

Wow. That just about says it all. I won't ruin it with further comment.
