murder lead with ink

By Six-Out

I write. for me

these words weaved onto page- upon page
metaphor- upon metaphor on these pages. are my words
simple.mental seduction: with a pen
my words- they used to heal me

my words- they used to be mine. these words kill me
tears: meet paper- as my pen glides solemnly across
solemn-ly. alliterative allure- and the world ends at the end of each poem
my pen stops- and you
you don't exist, when my words don't let you

break/broken dreams- maybe wings upon my pen(cil)
stenciled heart-marks and stark naked before you
these words are not my words- yet they bare me like never before


my heart on your table as these fabled words- these words that aren't mine
they kill me- mental.simple repulsion. with these lines
no words. just me and my pen
as I murder lead with ink

and it kills me

    Sixie . . I don't know how you keep tearing your heart out and putting it into poetic form . . it's intense, how real your words are. Your words are yours still . . but we all want to touch them and be close to something so incredible.

    "you don't exist, when my words wont let you" god damn six...what the fuck. I just shouted your poem to everyone in the house. brilliant work.

  • A former member wrote: This is quiet, yet confrontational. It captures a vivid, imaginative truth that sustains an essence of disturbing atmosphere, setting a distinguished poem in stone that is unlike anything I have ever had the gratification of reading. ~ Rose

  • A former member wrote: i love the way this one flows. i think just because you wrote it so well, that this poem "hits-home-base" (for lack of a better cliche)

  • A former member wrote: you write perfectly to my tastes. i love your style, and i know where youre coming from. brilliant, one of my favorite for a decent amount of time

    Very emotional...I can't really think of much, the combination of the work itself and tonights mood...to the point, brutal to an extent...well spoken.Kya Scholar
