Image for the poem all my ink

all my ink

i write  
in the night    
when shadows are sleeping    
to keep    
tears i weep    
from silently creeping    
out into the cold    
though hardly consoled i    
that darkness can bury    
the burdens i carry    
    
a poet    
should know it    
and yet keep a secret    
when stunned    
by the sun    
to choke up and leak it    
the old rugged cross    
redeeming his losses    
balms up the lost creature    
who sees no bright future    
     
i bleed    
like a seed    
sprung by a new morning    
whose roots    
upward shoot    
earth’s tangled web scorning    
i carry with me    
the locks and the keyring  
for hearts badly shaken    
by confidence broken    
     
no word    
were absurd    
that mends up the pieces    
for hearts    
torn apart    
whose sorrows releases    
i give all my ink    
for those on the brink line    
to them all my canvas    
who hunger for solace
