sadness, despair
sorrow and fear
themes that reoccur
throughout my prose
that is mine
for love is all
the only reason
why these four
tend to be created
into endless series
of verse
written down
because it overflows
from my heart, mind
body and soul
into the pen
held in my grip
shouting so loud
breaking these carefully
constructed walls
designed to hold back the flood
