Journey in ink

April 4, 2016 by sirensong1208 20 Comments

My journey began with a single word

spoken to me

Unknowing at the time

a wellspring of verse

bubbled away under my skin

waiting for inspiration

waiting for him

It took hold one moonlit night

Thoughts that took me miles away

to a man

and his own thoughts

and to two flames that burned

Ablaze with a hunger previously restrained

the pages of my soul were on fire

The words that spilled forth that day

blood from my veins

a testament to my feelings, my awareness

of him, of myself

and of an unexplored question

whose answers took root

and have flourished

in my soul

and in my ink
