Real Poets Bleed
The pure beauty amid attraction
no holding back it gives, it gives
a place where thoughts breathe
and strength and true poetry lives
It's not pretty nor perfection
word upon word, letting of soul
forgiveness, angst and freedom
captured, allowing moments feeling whole
there's happiness and sunshine
a night of fantasy for two (or more)
but mainly it's moving forward
closing shut a heavy door
heartbeats wrapped up in a blanket
slowing down one second at a time
giving life to more than perspective
a freeing of the troubled mind
I strip, you watch
you bleed, I cry
no expectations needed
just another day inside

I enjoyed reading this poem, the last two stanzas were my favourite, always good to read a poem that ends off with a punch:)

You have a gift for understatement: "just another day inside." You portray the poet's life to perfection. This contains psychological and emotional strength in your depiction of how we write, or try to. You succeed, and brilliantly.
