Ink Brought to Life...
Pen placed to paper, the artist draws forth
the emotions withheld, and beauty restored
thoughts drip as ink does, easily seen
but the soul of this artist, keeps hidden between
the sheaves of her notebook, where her art comes to life
dancing 'cross pages, her thoughts without strife
at home in her artwork, she roughs out a face
formed by her mind, she finds just the space
chiseled and hardened, a figure takes form
broad shouldered, loving, her pen doth adore
Through piles of books, pens, paper and cat
donning his clothing, he plainly stares back
to see who called forth, this character to be
the one in her story, or the one just for she
guided by thoughts, vibrant shades cover all
some blues, maybe red, and some brown tone the wall
He cast but a glance meant only for her
to a heart held in turmoil, her mind still a blur.
Jumping from paper, he leaps for her pen
to help write more stories and to draw once again.
