Ink

My ink is therapeutic 
My ink is cathartic 
My ink exposes pain
My ink heals
But today my ink has left
It has vanished 
Why oh why has it gone away?
Without my ink I am lost

Hello Alexis. I think we can all relate an second your words on what our ink means to us and the power and strength it has. It is all that you say in your entry. Well done.

I can so relate to this little poem Alexis. I never know when my muse will appear. Then I use anything I can get my hands on to write with, ink pen, pencil, crayon....you name it. Your first four lines are a great example of how poetry helps us...sustains us. 7 ; )

No worries, your ink shall return when you least expect it , Alexis. Such a heart yearning poem. I could feel the desperation. Solid to the bone poetry. Another 7 given for this poem of deep introspection. Love always.

I can lend you a pen, if you need one my friend. :) I think your ink is not lost, because it found it's way to me through your cool little poem. Nice one Alexis
