The Symphony of Scars: How Ink Bleeds Eternity from Broken Hearts.

I. Midnight’s Whisper

The moon cracks open like a poet’s spine,

spilling silver into vacant rooms.

A cursor blinks—an orphaned heartbeat—

waiting for the storm of syllables to bloom.

II. Coffee-Stained Confessions

Fingers trace the ghost of a metaphor,

steam rising from a mug’s porcelain throat.

Each sip a baptism, bitter and bright,

rewriting the ache that memory wrote.

III. The Crumpled Page

A draft exhales its final breath, discarded—

paper wings crushed beneath the desk’s cold knee.

But the poet knows: even fallen stars

carry light in their debris.

IV. The Pen’s Pulse

Nib trembling, a seismograph of veins,

it carves constellations into skin-thin sheets.

Blood becomes ink, ink becomes bridge—

spanning the chasm where silence meets. V. The Typewriter’s Psalm

Keys clatter like bones in a tambourine,

typing prayers the tongue could never hold.

Every click a knuckle’s confession,

every clack a story unsold.

VI. Eraser Dust

Fragile as moth-wing, as last year’s snow,

it gathers where the poet tried to hide.

But truth, like pollen, clings to the air—

even the erased refuses to die.

VII. The Hollow Hours

3 AM yawns—a cathedral of shadows—

where doubt’s choir hums a fractured tune.

Yet the poet kneels, not to plead, but to listen:

the dark hums back in a language of moon.

VIII. The First Line’s Hunger

It bites. Unforgiving as a stray dog’s teeth,

gnawing the ribs of what’s left unsaid.

Feed it a vowel, a gasp, a grenade—

watch it gorge on the feast of the dead.

IX. The Notebook’s Graveyard

Leaves pressed between pages: oak, maple, regret.

Margins crowded with ghosts in blue ink.

Here, the poet plants seeds in the cracks—

tomorrow’s forests where today’s sorrows sink.

X. The Reader’s Breath

When eyes meet verse, a synapse ignites—

a wildfire spread from one pulse to another.

Your ache in my lines, my rage in your throat:

strangers made kin by the womb of a cover.

XI. The Poem Takes Flight

It sheds its skin, becomes a murmuration—

a thousand starlings spelling ”survive” in the sky.

No longer yours or mine, but ours,

a shared scar where the light gets in.

XII. The Last Period

A full stop. A period. A planet gone dark.

But look—see how the sentence still breathes?

The poem outlives the hand that wrote it,

a compass needle pointing North to Believe.

Final Stanza (For You):

So here, my kin of the restless quill,

take this verse—a match struck in the gloom.

For every word we bleed into the void

is a lantern swinging in the womb of the tomb.
