A SELF REFLECTION POEM ABOUT MY ALTER EGO AND ME IN MY WRITING LAIR, WHERE THE INDEPENDENT WRITER INSIDE BECAME AWARE!

Reneé Drummond-Brown’s tome My INK Bleeds Black, speaks volumes to our testament as wisdom turns her poetic pages on women of color. Therefore, writing is a vital tool for me to pen (snippets of) our honest historical dark accounts if I want to live and prosper in this thing called life. Furthermore, vantablack INK is brilliantly lent and smeared throughout this book. As a result, the infallible scripted Word “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled” (Matthew 5:18 King James Version - KJV) ...

He runs to the window and sees Santa slip down the chimney, carrying a sack of toys with him. He watches as Santa fills the stockings hanging by the fireplace. Santa then disappears up the chimney, climbs onto his sleigh and flies away into the snowy, night...

In exchange for one last glimpse of the woman he lost, he was given immortality — and cursed to feed on longing itself. Through beautiful, tragic poems whispered across generations, he lives on… sustained by those who read his words and ache for something more. One poem in particular became legend: "Give It to Me" — a haunting love verse that, when spoken aloud three times, seals the soul to the curse. Now, in a modern high school English ...
