This one's for You (a Tribute to DP)

By Blood Saga

This one's for all the

soft-hearted people

who burn quietly

with poetic presence

but keep it all inside

most of the time.

This one's for all the

wandering souls who are

trapped by their own longing

to be understood,

wondering if there's anyone

out there just like them and

if there's anyone even listening.

You might not know them

walking through our crowded cities

but this one's for all the

self-harming, self-hating,

heartbreaking, heartbroken,

and the crazy, happy, beautiful people

who I love.

Yeah, this one's for all the

dark poets.

The gesture in itself is sweet, very thoughtful. And when you add the fact that its actually really good, it makes me smile. With teeth, even!

Home is where the heart is, and poetry is where the soul is. Better to leave the porch light on, to guide more wandering souls safely inside. Wonderful tribute.

Nice, I think this really does speak for itself, there's almost no need to say that if there was one poem on this entire site to speak for this site, it's this one, good work BS.
