The Poet

I, eager and yearning-
A poet-to own untold words!
Sitting quietly I see
The pen, responds to my heart’s core.
So attracted it is, 
To the purity of a maiden-
A page, or perhaps, only responding to me…!
The ink 
Starts spreading,
As though an enchanted wave, Lured to shore.
To make a small prominent mark 
On soft, yet changing sand
That may last 
A flickering moment,
In the memory of eternity
