The Ink Weeps

Over ink-drenched pages shadows crawled
Filled with tales of the broken who dared to fall

Tears thinly coated the weak and weary lines
Blurring the edge of truth with pain and glory intertwined 

Through every ink smudge a story’s shape takes form 
A tempest's tranquil eye documenting the storm

Wept-on pages with stories yield a heart laid bare
An ink-stained notebook with pages forever declares

Random and sweeping thought’s authorities
With the notebook’s ink holding poetic majorities
