The last breath of love dribbles from my pen
Words of emotion
Stories of trust
The life blood of civilizations history with every stroke of my pen
My pen bleeds the emotional stains that we as men have created
Each passionate stroke creates emotions buried deep inside
Emotions we never thought we’d share
Tales of despair and heartbreak
Stories of joy and happiness
Each word given a heartbeat to live within you
My pen bleeds life on this blank canvas
Given life to the dead recesses of the mind
If other pens would bleed as mine has
Diversity and understanding would trump politics and hatred
This pen bleeds togetherness
Their pen bleeds understanding
Our pen bleeds words that are read and felt
My pen bleeds me
