heart's confessions on paper ........................................
Celtic Leather Journal ЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕЕ.. Now here it comesЕ Another end, A mere few pages RemainingЕ to expose My soulЕ With confessions written, In Celtic leather bound journal. ItТs here in safety I tell all, With shield of poetryЕ So some call itЕ Such an honor When those most TalentedЕ Define my writing as such. The smell of leather binding Brings back the day of AcquisitionЕ When love filled each blank PageЕlong before I wrote A single word. First time I cracked The bindingЕwith Number two Pencil in handЕ My mind went blank In hesitationЕas if I were about to soil, ItТs pure white paper. IТve felt this anxiety beforeЕ Counting remaining pages, In fear IТd stroke my pencil Across the last pageЕ Still blank, Before refills ordered Arrived in time to allow Me more confessions. A daily ritual it seemsЕ That keeps me centered, Creating a hole In the bottom of my heartЕ Through which I pour my feelings, Allowing them to escapeЕ Some disguisedЕ Some bold and tacky, Lustful and revealingЕ Others quiet while AssumingЕall who may Read one dayЕ Will understand me better. A third edition Of heartТs confessions You might say, ItТd be the fourthЕ If not placed on a shelfЕ While heart struggled To find its wayЕ To youЕor was it Around you ? OhЕthere you are againЕ Appearing in my heart, Through memories rekindled, Each time I turnЕ One more page. Only two empty pages LeftЕand IТve just noticedЕ With each end coming, In those that have come BeforeЕtimes twoЕ IТve left the last page Blank and emptyЕ Maybe by chance, Or was there a reason ? Perhaps I left them blankЕ Hoping one day I would ReturnЕ And write a different ending. Erin Woods
