an individual who

does
not fear the
darkness
of words that
may disturb
the common
man.
the poet is the
mapmaker of the
collective
unconscious.
the poet does not
live inside of
the rhyme
crime
but speaks
of the
blindness of life.
the magician of
words touches
what
cannot be justified
walking where
no path may lead.
for the poet always
knows that
the poetry of
the earth is never
dead. the angels
who speak of
the glistening
beauty in the
horrifying darkness of
many common souls.
to define the poet
one would have to
live off of the
ultimate thrill of
the bleeding ink of
a wondrous pen.
