I am but a piece, created from a strip of bark

Crumpled by your hands, smoothed out again

Your thoughts, played over and over

My essence lacks emotion, and yet, I

Am able to feel the passion that flows

From your fingertips, through the pen, to me

A single sheet of paper, waiting, watching

As you bring me to life with every stroke

With every sigh, with every bit of your soul.

write
I sit here, in my office
My one place to breathe
Where I can write quietly
My gentle reprieve

Placed my hands on the keyboard
But something felt wrong
The words made no sense
As I typed them along

What could be happening?
Not now, my dearest friend!
My keyboard then answered
“Use paper and pen”

A talking piece of hardware
Where all my thoughts do play
Was telling me to change it up
To try a new display

“Learn to flow more freely
Write your verse, with endless flair
Then sit back and admire
What you’ve done, unaware”

Insanity, the incessant need

To put pen to paper, indelible ink

Invisible, yet clearly seen

Leaving a mark, permanently

Inscribed, on blank pages

Merely, the story of our life

Thoughts that carry moments

Left lingering in the dark

Cold and ever wandering

Extinguished, lose their spark

Yet, this fire burns inside me

Chars the paper, where I lay

The words my soul has written

With the flames of yesterday

I am an artist

Whose paintbrush

Flows with the ink

Of pictures written

On a canvas bare

Letters in perfect symmetry

Romancing the palette

A portrait in verse
