    Broken Pen

    My fate is tied to the dispelled ink on random parchment paper.....

    Making its way like a caper smoking a vapor-less cigarette in a red Corvette
    Grabbing respect by the decks dealing with the ire of his choices
    Taking the power out of life's hand now command of the table
    Giving himself blackjack.....

    And as the edge swell to hold back the spillage from becoming a mess
    This capeless caper addresses the stress that swells within my fingers
    Muting the urges that purged from discarded nails bearing my soul
    Selling pieces to cancerous pawn shops looking for that score
    Relief only comes when prices for the action is paid in full
    A mint is made on the grief played out

    Who says that life is fair

    I can manage anything with the help of others
    But in the shadows of doubt I am helpless
    Kept tethered to mistakes and choices of ignorance
    Sailing on a sea that shades hidden land masses
    Bashing my hull till it succumbs

    My life preserver comes in fifths and liters

    So even now as I use binary codes to scribe feelings bleeding forth
    I feel contorted to the proof that lies in the aloofness of being numb
    Deadening that maximization needed to sustain environs of growth
    Pills of health decayed by soiled tears
    Eroding benefits of a stable hand
    So I sit near an open window
    Hoping that time's breath will slow the dispelled ink

    That I can save my words

    And fix my broken pen......

    143 you mustn't retire.

    I've always been a fan to your style of poetry. You have a knack for imagery and creative phrasing. Your lines do a good job of helping your Metaphors bleed together, the themes like miniature paragraphs in the stanzas. I think you opened and closed well.

    You're an asset to the section my brother. Drop another.
