I write to express with my pen
what my voice cannot say
words I am afraid to speak.
There's freedom on paper
fearless abandon
the silence of my pen
screams aloud all the thoughts I need to convey.
Writing vocalises without being heard
it disturbs without being seen
protecting the physical, freeing the emotional
uplifting the spiritual and connecting the individual to the masses.
Writing is a deadly weapon...
yet it takes no life, spills no blood.
It is an aphrodisiac
a sexual encounter when pen meets paper
with every formation of a letter
writing goes into secret places
giving pleasure
satisfying the desires
exposing the writer
triumphantly
silently aloud.
