"WRITE OR DIE....ThE PeNs pictures"
  by bookum




I Write for the moment in time..the moment your pain was mine
in this world filled with still images
my pen portrays that time lost..
that time that caused prescious seconds to tick away
beat away hearts that broke
sink away tears that stroked cheeks cherry red..
as smiles posed waiting for the inks flash...
ink splattered captured the darkest of dayz...
developing sights already engraved in millions...
from The overdose... mistreated...abused..lost souls dying to live.
pen dying to give the perfect family photo
framed in this imperfect appearance..
Mommy smiles to hide her bruises...
as the pen recreates the night daddy bloodied her face
and the daughter tries to comfort but she struggles
as tears leak into her smile, what a bitter sweet taste.
family Portrait displayed in panoramic pain
Write or Die is the faceless Photographer
The back drop of realities sorrows, the glimpse into heaven
Writing to step over stones, skipping rocks across pacific oceans..
Scribing in destinations far from home, but through writings Photos
emotions are related.... So Say cheese.
I'm laying this ink across 8 by 10"s...
pen is the Kodak's dark room...Fluorescent red drops dripping..
dripping away the stains..Pictures can last a lifetime...
but you cant develop the pain...only thing i can do is write
shutter my pen, zoom in, and give more light...
keeping all negatives for inspiration to do right

Write or Die

this was felt... very touching and understood. You have tears welling in my eyes... just over feeling this and think you wrote the hell outta the emotion...

Whoah. I am so glad you commented on one of my poems. I decided to return the favor and check out some of your work. You blew me away with this write! DAMN. You have got mad skills with words. Unreal. Sucked me in from line one and I couldn't stop reading!
