Marquis de sade
A wounded heart
An offense of conscience
Inner struggles
Or Inspirations?
In desperation, I dip this pen
Deep into the inkwells
So dreadfully crimson
My declarations
Upon this paper be bled
The verses LOUDER and BOLDER!
Shout my injuries from this world
They must be heard!
Every rhyme and every reason
Catapulting through the stinging word
My soul melds with quill
Becoming one
A channeling vessel
As the broken heart pours...
And spills
This is my message of life
And how I lived!
The tragedy and torture…
Continues, left unabridged
At the end...a twist
Now my heart resides in others
And my agony lives on
From where before, it did not exist!
