Leap of Faith

P  o  e  t  r  y. verb

: The art of painting a picture with the most vivid of words.  Exhibitionism, exaggeration--who knows which dirt roads we tread?    It is a form of suicide and we are slowly killing ourselves from the inside out.  It is when we can't think of enough words to express a single act of longing, or of lust and love--but are managed to be vomited up from the emptiness of our cores.   It's the stench and sting of rotting eggshells under the souls of our feet as we plant our toes into the earth.  An artist's vulnerability, their final act of desperation.  Poet, turned poetry written in brain matter upon a crimson floor.--Ready for their close up.
