White Plane

Poem Commentary

This was just how I feel about writing, and the pressure it relieves for me at times. Also, nothing connects two time spans like literature. How else can we touch those before us?

White Plane

This pen punctured me-Pierce. Intravenous draining of pain,

Like bloodletting for black plague, poison spills from these veins.

My power pours its soul-self, slow like hourglass grains

Onto this white landscape, a two-dimensional plane.

 

Colors collide, red to white; quill exhales my essence,

This red’s eternal connection flows through princes and peasants.

So when dead, still deign to speak. Present touches your presence.

Just exhume the white plane, my two dimensional reference.

sweeeet. Writing is such a great way of expressing one's self, but for true release? Play Tether Ball!

This is fantastic! Your description is filled with so much emphasis and strong detail. I love this line...."Intravenous draining of pain, Like bloodletting for black plague, poison spills from these veins." Mostly because I can relate. Well written D!

Good living may be done without good writing, but good writing depends upon good reading. Harv

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
