Barren room, barren woman
White walls, blackened soul
Rigid chairs and wooded cells
Trapped in a mind not her own.
Desolate heart, desolate head
Sauntering starkness, ivory thread
Concrete floors and lighted roofs
Four walls caging wild thoughts.
Tearing the chain
Of adoration,
Of love,
Forever.
Like gleaming stars
Tears fall,
From Heaven,
Forever.

This it the creative writing portion of my blog, here you’ll see everything from short stories to poetry and I invite you all to comment upon them. All work published here is original unless otherwise noted.
The name of the blog “An Open Vein” is derived from the quote by famed sports writer Red Smith who boldly stated:
“There’s nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein.”
A writer tears their soul apart searching for those bits that are hidden away. This blog will be a reflection of those things I’ve found in myself, in others, and in the world which I know to be true. I hope you enjoy your visit.
