Poems from lumosinthenight
I am a writer by necessity, not by nature. I write because I know that my life is a blink in the void of eternity, a fleeting splash of color upon a dull grey canvas. I write because it is a part of me, the same as I would breathe or my heart would beat. I write because my soul cannot help but pour out onto the page in the distinct chaos and frenzied thought that fill my swirling consciousness. I am a writer because I know no other way to live.
I am not a writer.
I cannot spin you tales of woe and sorrow,
of bliss and affection.
My words do not dance across the page
in the...
I found the devil,
not in hell, but in
the infinite space
between my body and
the mirror.
