I Am A Poet by prospect11(m): 1:00pm On May 10, 2017
MY INK, MY BLOOD
prospect is a poet
In my blood, my ink is found
I flow though lines
As my blood flows through it course
I stick to the script
Like the osteocyte in my marrow
My blood faints not
My ink never dries
This blood is my life
My ink is all I've got
I flow to describe
I never cease to educate
This flow gives enlightenment
I don't skip correction
The truth is what I'd say
I don't care if you give a reproach
I love to make you feel alive
I am a life to the depressed
I flow throughout the world
Whenever you are, forget poignancy
I flow to heal your soul
Your freedom, My happiness
My ink may look like yours
But mine is granted an authority
It functions beyond limit
Even after am gone
I heard of it works, in places I've never been
My ink does not languish
Enjoy the flow of my blood
Flourish in the flow of my ink
My ink, my blood.
