Words On A Page
Give me a blank page,
 A pen, and a choice.
 This ink running out
 Is my expression, my voice.
 A silent display
 Of truth loud and clear.
 I never speak, 
 But can't you hear
 The joy in my syntax,
 In this verse, all my hurt?
 I'm making a masterpiece.
 I'm painting with words.
 Though they look like black lines,
 They have colors and shades.
 When the poetry's ended
 The words never fade.
 I hear them in daylight.
 They whisper in rain.
 The rhythm magnifies laughter
 And pauses my pain.
 I am the narrator.
 This is my point of view.
 This poem is the only
 Answer I can give you.

Poetry is my passion. It's so much more than writing. It's a release.
The last four lines were inspired by "I Am Offering This Poem" by Jimmy Santiago Baca.
