Poetry Is An Act Of Peace.

Raw Hatred Took Its Time Making An Outpost Of Its Rage And Prepared For Me A Savage Crown With Rusty, Bloodstained Spikes. It Wasn't Pride That Made Me Keep My Heart At A Distance From Such Terror, Nor Did I Waste On Revenge Or The Pursuit Of Power The Forces That Came From My Selfish Griefs Or My Accumulated Joys. It Was Something Else-my Helplessness.

I Believed That The Way Passed Through Man, And That It Was From There That Destiny Had To Emerge.

The Birds Of Night Peck At The First Stars That Flash Like My Soul When I Love You.

Look Around—there's Only One Thing Of Danger For You Here—poetry.

Ah, Love Is A Voyage With Water And A Star, In Drowning Air And Squalls Of Precipitate Bran; Love Is A War Of Lights In The Lightning Flashes, Two Bodies Blasted In A Single Burst Of Honey.
