Tool of Creativity

You taunt me with your golden glow But, a leaden heart lurks below. A wooden tomb of future lore Heroes and dragons enslaved in your core. You taunt me with your golden glow But, red-tipped error is all you show. Just scribbles and scratches between each lull The magic locked up when you’re sharp or dull. You taunt me with your golden glow But, I should not blame you. I already know. You cannot be more than a simple utensil You’re no creative muse. You’re only a pencil.
