Ink
Ink
The blank page was clear and perfect, white as the snow once the storm has passed
It sat there with great patience, to be able to tell a story of loving human hearts
The ivory white paper stared at the writer desperately
To quench its thirst, of soulful and loving poetry
From the tip of her pen flows the blackness that brings life to her creative currents
She realizes the worth of her words and their power to transform emotions
Her words dance on the paper and she is in full possession of her wings
The tale told upon the parchment was so eloquent that the ink must have flowed from the heavens
The ink is an open invitation to the artist in her
To capture her feelings in cursive letters
Her ink tries to find the right way to dance upon the literary stage
Her emotions flow freely, her joy and melancholy, her beauty and rage
Her pen says the words as if they rained from her soul
The ink paves the path from her heart to the paper, making her whole
Through the pen is how the soul learns to speak
To spread love in a world which is harsh and bleak
The paper carries the poetic ink with nonchalant grace
Bearing everlasting truth till the end of its days
In elegant swirling letters, her beautiful black ink said
The words that her heart bled

This is a poem which is very close to my heart. We live and breathe words. They can light fires and wring tears from the hardest hearts. Words are our most inexhaustible source of magic. They have the power to wind themselves around your limbs like spider silk, and when you are so enthralled you cannot move, they pierce your skin, enter your blood, numb your thoughts. A drop of ink may make a million think.
