Ink Stained Knife

My Bic is filled with blood.

I state a fact

That all great writers know.

In my wrists, my blood runs black.

Through these veins, dark ink flows.

 

All writers feel a passion

No other artist knows.

This passion can cause a verbal reaction

From which beautiful words will  flow.

 

The poet feels things deeply,

A Pandora's box which can't be closed.

Creating rhymes that brush the ears ever so sweetly.

When truly inspired, ones true beauty shows.

 

An author creates tales

Some of terror, others of woe.

Tales of love and bitter betrayal,

Or a sweet romance, sexy and slow.

 

Pain, however, pain inspires all!

From  Great Shakespeare, straight to ol' E.A Poe.

From Great pain comes great fear,

Every single one has let it show.

 

Lastly, I say, yes my blood runs black.

From now til eternity this stands true.

I am well on my path and I won't turn back.

Not for them, not for her, and certainly not for you.

Wow! I really loved the way you ended this. The last line was a kicker and so true. We stick to what we do, shut your mouth and do what you wish but don't tread on our passion.

My favorite stanza was:

An author creates tales
Some of terror, others of woe.
Tales of love and bitter betrayal,
Or a sweet romance, sexy and slow.

I really like this a LOT. Thank you for writing.

In my wrists, my blood runs black.
Through these veins, dark ink flows.

"When truly inspired, ones true beauty shows".- or one's deepest darkness

A truly truthful write from one writer to another. Splendid. Love the thought behind this. Kudos. By the way, how come you didn't capitalize "Shakespeare"? Was just wondering.
