Analysis of Ambiguous
Silence is forever golden
to the rhyme of a poets pen.
Never wanting
never demanding
or asking when.
Hearts are clear of mind
for the poetic words
they write.
Ponderous are their thoughts
within each falling night.
Where a poet's blood leaks
the stains of red.
It is what they wrote
lest not what they said.
Ambiguous are their souls
Given to inscribe
for each word used
another word dies.
