Ink and paper

in the realm of ink and paper
I seek solace in the rhythm
as the thoughts slowly find
the tips of my fingers 
with words as my palette
and metaphors as my guide
I embark on a journey
where love and poetry meet
like a gentle breeze 
on a summer’s eve 
love softly whispers its tune
caressing the depths of my soul
I dip my quill in passion’s ink
and let the verses flow
it’s there I see you
upon these empty pages
and as the breath of life
passes through my layers
pieces of you
of me
of us
will be forever written
inside this heartbeat of mine

  1. The Muse changes colors
    With chameleon skill
    Camouflage blots
    Green, beige, brown, black

    Impossible patterns emerge
    The quill sparks my urge
    Crimson spy, letters surge
    Roses die, in winter’s gloom

    It’s jiggles slowly forward
    Blending in, on a branch
    Methodically, in a trance
    Words begin do dance

    Slowly like a waltz in the woods
    Stalked by the raptors , they read your words
    But hiding is futile, discovery inevitable
    Enigma machine creates this world

    Oh chameleon, implore you
    Shoot out your tongue
    I will be that dragon fly
    You devour for fun

    Camouflage I know
    You were not supposed to do
    Green, beige and black and blue
    Try Paisley, or plaid

    I dare you, make me glad
    Argyle maybe, won’t make me sad
    Checkered amoeba came out to play
    They shouldn’t exist you say?

    The poet will always get their way.
