Self Portrait

SELF PORTRAIT…1

I’m a dark hued mind poet
     Writing mine;
Often inking seemingly empty words 
     Bled from pregnant thoughts.

But even these I want to share.
     Sharing is caring:
            About peace
        About freedom
            About love;
         About unborn babes
            About the bomb

And about lumbering shadows of life
     Silhouetting hungry death.

I’m a dark hued mind poet
     Writing mine;
A cranial reservoir dripping
     Spear tipped words;
Dripping magical words
     Conjuring 
       Cosmic
        Consciousness:
Defying the cryptic void of silence.
