putting words together
scarring paper
is just that
if there is no heart
surrendered to the art

we need not write in blood
but must stir the blood within
engage the soul,
release the paradigm.
nurture the word,
play with the rhyme

there,
lies the difference
between the poet
and the scribe.
I proclaim to be both poet and scribe.... not that it matters....
both have a place....
both write the foibles and follies
of the human race.

somedays there is heart
and sonedays mere observation
of this world and it's slow building
conflagration....
so let us squabble and add twigs to
the fire....then we can stand back
and watch our own funeral pyre.
