The Ink Speaks
You ask me—
how does it feel?
This slow bleed of words…
This quiet magic
made of pain—
and ink.
Let me tell you.
It feels like this:
The pen… hesitates.
Just for a moment.
Then carves its hunger
into the silence
of a blank white page.
The ink bottle?
It trembles.
Not from fear—
But from the weight
of all it hasn’t spilled yet.
Some call it a prayer.
Others?
A wound that never heals.
Watch the letters.
See how they sprawl—
dark wanderers,
with no home
except this crossing point
of skin and syllables.
See how they blur at the edges—
like grief.
Like forgotten gods.
And the colors—
oh, the colors…
Blue—like midnight’s tantrum.
Pink—like a tongue-tip confession.
Red—like a raw hymn
sung at the edge of dawn.
Don't talk to me about purity.
Truth—
real truth—
stains deeper
than any sin ever could.
You want to know
Where do poems come from?
Place your ear—
right here.
On the space
between a breath
and its echo.
Between the wound—
and the word
that dresses it in gold.
This is where it begins.
Where the unsaid
turns liquid.
Where the pen
is just a bone
whispering to paper:
Take this.
Make it beautiful.
