If by poetry
If
by poetry
I can make her
flesh and blood
my body on which to press
I will forge
such compelling words
her hungry soul
to steal

I originally tweeted these words over three years past, but liked them so much I elevated them to a blog post two years ago. If elevate is the right word. I hope you don’t mind them again. It is one of my favourite short poems.

If by words I could express how compelling your poetry is I would surely find them. Until then I hope I am not too cliche in my praise for your captivating verses.
