A Poem by alterego

The world drowned 
my voice with its clamor
and it became worthless,
so I cut my tongue 
with the nib of my pen
and let the blood dripped
on a piece of paper in 
beautiful calligraphy.
Red, vivid and clear.
And for a thousand years
I have let my voice rest.

This is so nice, so beautiful.... sometimes, being silent, for eternity is what a true poet feels....

Thank you for spreading your ink, if it's red or black, it's you, and beautiful.

oh my my.. a writer's plight and fight with thoughts and words, wanting to leave its impression that never fade with time.. It's one of the best poem I have come across!
