A Paper Never Dry

My paper is drenched in feelings...
                   A lifetime of a heart running and searching..        
                    A hand struggling for years to hold a pen...        
              Yet now written tales of where a poet has been...
                      The art of spelling out a kiss of passion...    
         To scribing heartache and loss that wasn't my decision...    
        Till finally there are pages full that scream in a poetic cry...
    A soul has found his way to write on a paper that will never dry...

Michael, your poem is quite sad, but beautifully written. It touched my heart because I know the ink never dries on paper filled with the stain of tears. Very eloquent and thought-provoking as well. Love, Carolyn

A beauty MJF! Someone told me to embrace my "weakness" of writing with my emotions.. This piece of yours is almost like validation for that thought.. Really love this one! Love & hugs always CTH
