Rose Color Ink

Can I curse my fingers without bleeding?
Seeking the pleasure of words to resurrect
Feed the mask I have worn for a decade
I turn to dead poets
Paddling their scripts
For a minute I see them
Stepping
Emphasizing on stage
Creatures of the night
Tongues blossom graffiti
Before I am asked another poem
I study with parched dreams
Hanging in my bedroom closet
Cautiously I dip face in pastel ink
Fabrication prevails
Lifting spine of sleepless fingers
Bracing
Pen and paper
Once again
©6/2007 Cathy Delaleu

The first line drew me in. If that first line doesn't do it, my attention immediately starts to move on. In this case it feed hungrily on the poem. I like the poem, but the last three lines, although what you were aiming at, are too easy. OK, but too said.

excellent poem.............i like your use of rheorical question at the start of the poem because it immediately hooks the reader into the poem's context - it certainly hooked me.....
