your ink finds me in the quiet hour
a midnight tide beneath my skin
it gathers in the well of my pen
like breath returning
I lower nib to page
you are the steady current
where I am empty you arrive
fill the hollow without a sound
spilling dark into every waiting vein
what I thought was absence
opens like a door
the page drinks
the silence answers
and somewhere between
your tide and my heartbeat
something unnamed
learns to live in ink
Oooh! I really like that second verse, Jennifer. 💕
Aww, thank you, Michael 💕
Beautifully written ✍🏾👌🏾

Wow! So loved this, Jennifer!! I always love your visualization of what you write about so that we have images in our minds!!!
Especially, loved your ending lines!!! Mmmmm!!!
the page drinks
