Tapping the page
For a delicate vein
To inject with the dosage
Of ink and its stain
Struck by remorse
For the injuries caused
To offend such a fabric
With my brand of pain
But I pressure the point
Through the skin of this ivory
Piercing the heart
Of an innocent leaf
And it never revolts
Against me and my thievery
Innocence torn
By the words of my grief
The unspeakable, spoke
From the absence of healing
Prescriptions I wrote
In the songs of the night
A transfusion my throat
Sacrifices from feelings
Like dissonant notes
In the wrongs that I write

I am so glad ti see you post again. Iy was a breath if fresh air for me. Well written as usual 🙂
Sorry that was suppose to say *glad to see…. and It was a breath… lol
Thank you Lydia. I’m glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate you taking time to read and comment 🙂
Vampire nice theme. and good poem. loved it.
Thank you. I quite enjoy your work as well. I appreciate your words 🙂
That was just so amazing , I really liked it , it touched me and made me cry! Thank you.xx
Thank you willow. I’m grateful for your tears. They are sacred things and it means a lot to me to know you paid that much care to my thoughts. I didn’t intend to make you cry, but thank you all the same 🙂
I’ve been afraid this wasn’t ever coming again. Thank you.
I couldn’t help it anymore. I missed you
And I’ve missed you. I’ve been anxious for a new post with every email. I could hardly open this fast enough.
I’m afraid it is not very uplifting, or masterful, but I could stand it no longer. Thank you for your patience. It has been a difficult time. Your devotion is always encouraging
I am sorry I couldn’t do more.
Though I cannot see your face, your words speak of a wonderful person on the other side of this screen somewhere, and that is something very special. Perhaps you do more than you know
I hope that what you speak of is true. In fact I hope it so fervently that it should count for something.
very well written, very grateful that you share the thought 🙂
Thank you very much. I’m very thankful you shared in me sharing the thought 🙂
I liked the fall of these words, I liked the rhythm, but I’m so unlearned with poetry I really can’t comment at all. I’m not sure what it was about. At first I thought you were going to inject yourself with drugs. I wasn’t sure. But absolutely you have a skill with tone & rhythm. I really liked the fall of the words.
You are in good company. I don’t really know anything about poetry either. It was really just about me feeling like I write sad and depressing things sometimes, and if the paper had feeling, it seems a shame to spoil it with my dark thoughts, as if I am drugging a helpless victim with fatal poison. Actually, nevermind. I am not exactly sure what it was about, but I’m very glad you stopped by and commented! I’m sure I’ve written things which make much more sense in the past 🙂

A wonderful opening!
Which doesn’t mean I didn’t like the rest. It meant just what it said.
A wonderful opening!
Thank you, ben. Coming from someone of your talent that is very kind indeed 🙂
Great title too!
A tragically lovely piece, I’m so glad to see you posting again.
Thank you, jaded. I appreciate your encouragement. You raise my spirits with your concern and support 🙂
You are most welcome. Your words are always a welcome sight, so deep and touching.
I’m not sure how my words could be so important, but I’m thankful they are 🙂 thank you, my friend
Wow, this imagery sucks me in just reading the first stanza. This piece has the ability to subtly engulf the reader with the flow from beginning to end.
What a magnificent compliment! Thank you 🙂
I also was taken by the first stanza 🙂 Super work as always!
Thank you, Autumn! I’m thankful it caught your attention. I have such random thoughts 🙂
Wow, yea that first stanza is amazing and the rest too!
Thank you, Scott. Quite nice to see you drop by 🙂
whew… you make me sob, it is melting my emotions another piece that moves me…. I love it…
That is such a sweet compliment. Thank you for sharing with me and reading my work 🙂
I don’t mean to repeat what others have said, but it’s true about the opening. However, the middle and the ending is amazing, as well, very well written!
That’s good to hear! I must admit that on occasion I create an opening line and then never finish the poem. Sometimes I hear one stanza and that’s it…the thought is incomplete and the poem lies dormant somewhere, never to be seen. So I’m glad this one evolved a middle and end 😉
your words tickle my every nerve, i feel with all i have when i read your poems, thank you for sharing, keep writing!
Aw, thank you Reese. I will try to keep writing 🙂
Oh, how you manage to craft such beauty even when conveying grief, I cannot tell!!! Awesome post as usual but what do I expect from the one who is best of friends with the ‘spirit of poetry’ 🙂 Hope you are doing well VW. Glad to see another post here from you.
Haha you are too kind, Blue. Thank you. 🙂
Absolutely Marvelous..
😀
No need to waste your energy and reply VW…this was incredible…if only you didn’t have to stain that innocent leaf…but you deal with the human heart…and it is both blood red and delicate.
It’s a muscle that I fear is overworked lately 🙂
Really enjoyed the imagery in this poem. 🙂
Well, thank you very much Holly! I’m glad to hear that!
Yep. You can definitely do poetry. Excellent.
🙂
