My heart flows from the end of my pen
Written from the juice of a blood red grape
The love, the joy all appear before me
A poet’s grace, my one true escape
The tears that flow from my pen so free
Save my eyes from a river of pain
A release of heartache and desperate longing
The words colour the paper with no refrain
The words of love that carry me high
Speak of life and its pure rich magic
Then they turn to help as they always do
To assist the poet through a time so tragic
Landscapes and beauty touch the writer’s soul
As this great land his words for a moment hold
Never to be owned just shared and enjoyed
To try to do more, who would be so bold?
The blood of my soul is the poet’s ink
Written in the words that are me
Exorcised from within to be seen and dealt
Then leaving the poet’s spirit forever free.
