The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Life Force

 

A page is just waiting

for a name

the fresh ink through which

it can breath and pulse

with life.

 

The force

that holds within

all those withering souls

for once set free

as they are spoken.

 

You can almost hear

the whispers

is it your release

or the tightening of chains.

 

Struggling with this

creation, unfolding

peel by peel.

 

Questions of mortality

truth obscured

reviving the corpse

to spring before the eye.

I like your writing, but I think you have the potential to improve by learning how to tighten up your lines. The general rule is don't use a word unless it adds to or strengthens the body of the work.

 

Example:

A page is just waiting

into...

A page waiting

 

 

We're all guilty of using fluff & redundancy in our writing; to recognize and revise is the important part.
