Poetry

I am a poet.
A quiet voice,
The one you hear in the wind,
Sighing restlessly
Over the graves of her past.

My pen is my life,
So bid it not run out of ink.
This paper is my breath,
Aging slowly
With time's gentle hands.

My heart bleeds ink,
My mind creates the word,
And my lung whispers them.
Whispers them to the dust,
Gathering on the page.

Calls that are lost,
I ache to be heard.
A writer,
Clinging to her only purpose,
Like dewdrops to a web.

I am a poet,
A leaf drifting on the breeze,
Searching for the sun.
To enlighten it,
With a chlorophylled embrace.

My eyes are deep blue.
Reflecting inner doubt
Of an ocean of vast sky,
I write this since…
I am a poet.

I am a poet. A writer forever perched in waiting for inspiration, ready to attack with the rapid beat of a pen. My eyes have seen and understood many though I am young, and therefore I am a poet.

And proud! Tell me what you think of this little piece, I wrote it in Math class when I had extra time (which is rare!) and I like it very much. But it's not my opinion that gets me anywhere, it's yours! If you like my poetry, you can check out my gallery of poems; [link] and if you like my writing in general, then be sure to drop by my writing folder as well! [link] I am working on a series of short stories based on dreams, called "Dust Of My Dreams" And already have two posted if I do believe, I would greatly appreciate feedback and comments!

s and

s are great and all, but they don't mean much if you don't tell me what you really think when you read my work!

Much love to all of my supporters, watchers, commenters, and just anyone who takes time out of their lives to read my poetry
