Black Pen

Oh Black Pen! Thou should never stop bleeding
When my heart speak of freedom and humanity
Thou must serve passion in my soul
To reveal the truth of life and it's goal
Thou have written words of love,
Words that carried sadness of life
Yet you never found your feet
Until you have written those words
Words that were longing to come out of your head
Speaking of the beauty of nature, and freedom
Speaking of those unspoken people
Who rarely got the chance to speak
For them you have become a sword
To speak of their pain through your inkdrops
Oh Black Pen! I ask you not to stop bleeding
Not until I write with you my last words of life
Even if the tiny raindrops of life
Wash away your dark inkdrops
Through the narrow streets of mortality
Leaving a trace of your presence in my diary

Really good work here!! Its amazing how a simple pen helps us write what is going on in our mind. Great read ☺

A journal is a vital tool everyone can benefit from even if you do identify as a writer. Every individual experiences thoughts and emotions; these are often tangled in disorder. Fragmented thought is how the mind processes their surroundings and experiences. It takes an effort for comprehension and it often begins with confusion. Writing allows us to organize our feelings. Therefore, it helps us with the following:

1. Decision making.
2. Confront emotions.
3. Create something.

Overall, a journal or diary is invaluable. I advise everyone to keep a record. It is impossible to access all information we digest. Thank you for sharing!

sincerely,

DEFINITELY one of your best all time poems (of the ones I've read so far)!!!! I love the concept, that something as simple as a pen (or other writing device) can be like a friend, a soother of feelings, a necessity as we heal & get thru our worst tragedies in life. But I also love this message most of all becuz I can feel that you have really opened up your heart & digging deep in there to express these feelings. I think you are forgetting about the actual act of writing here & you are just letting go of the flood of feelings you have buried inside you . . . showing us how powerful the pen is, to help you let go of so many things that are making your life challenging these days (((HUGS))) I love that you have this healing friend, the pen, to share your beautifully intense feelings with us!!!

Where would we be without the black pen to free us from our thoughts, racing and colliding in our minds, needing escape to show the beauty within, that could se easily spread outwith? Where lives are cluttered with confusion and misunderstanding, we somehow find little moments of clarity that help our thoughts flow onto the page, leaving a permanent reminder, that sense can be made from confusion.
Wonderfully captured piece my friend. here's to many more of them.

The symbolism of the pen in this piece is captured perfectly. It is almost seen as a person standing of for the voiceless and those who can capture the hearts of people with words. Really love the power in this piece, it definitely captured my heart. Thank you for sharing.

I love this so much! I don't even have words for how much I enjoy this poem! You use such aged language, but the message is so timeless.

I ask you not to stop bleeding.

I just can't even tell you how much I adore this!
