The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

The Spirit of a Writer

The smell of ink on the wooden table enticed my nose to the abandoned house 
Where ants prey on tattered slip of papers lying on bare floor 
And broken pens of various colors assembled in a tomato tin
In a house with no human 
I can feel the spirit of a writer 
The curtains closed tightly to stop the sun from spying 
The breeze kiss the tip of some papers gently into the outer house 
There! I saw letters of different font 
Like the wall was hungry to be touched 
Words filled it to the brim 
It was colorful like rainbows of different shades 
In a house with no human 
I smell the ink of a writer 
I feel life
