The Poet's Pen


Instrument of life
is the poet’s pen
She runs the ink dry
again and again

Writing to drive back
the darkness of night
Constantly trying
to summon the light

Indigo shadows
which must be erased
Striving for truth lest
her life be a waste

Wringing out her pen
onto the blank page
Speaking of the world
the sorrow, the rage

This slender vessel
must conduct the flood
For the poet’s pen
is channelling blood
