Ink-Bitten.
Whence cometh this sudden burst ?
Strong the feeling of need to unearth quill
and clutter blank canvas.
Why falleth such daze of commitment ?
This utter compel to verse comprehension
with ink and pen,
is't call of the Muse that so draws ?
Or perhaps a deep awe taketh poetic minds
to other than normal.
Wouldst mine own experience of versing
beyondness inspire new ideas ?
Wonder's strict urge to word the unwordable
is it so rare ?
To set down the force of emotional fire in neat
order proves the vocation of serious scribing.
A flow of lined fervour cometh alive and eateth
the will despite dirth of time.
Yet what behest dost survive felt pressure when
lettered addiction graspeth its hold ?
'Tis more than mere ring in the nose set
the ink-bitten soul to capture by mark Heaven's
intelligence or pits of the darkest hell.
If written expression be older than old
and every sure pen-stroke lead viewing hearts
to read on, all praise to the bard.
Long-licked bones,'tis methinketh, that
maketh the art in poetry.

Yeay dear Charlotte whence i didst first sight ye 'pon that sweet day, your quill o'er parchment, adventure beset my amour.
What nonesense do you tarry above when my spoken word upon your delicate lobes would free your quill's restraint. Though thoughts, these only be, within my smitten mind I most fervently hold the desire of a mention, when parchment sees again your tender touch.
Look what you do.... you're so inspiring Fay.

A rarity indeed to recall a gone life dear Suresh - - - a great big thank you for your welcome visit and read.
ANGELA HERE - Thanks FAY for a very elegant Poem to compliment a very elegant Picture. My Poem tomorrow *MEMORIES* was also triggered by the picture attached !
I sometimes wake in the night with an ODE in my mind - I write it down for later use. My MUSE is triggered by Pictures - Scenes & Events ! Capturing a POEM is just the beginning - honeing it - polishing it - collaborating with BRIAN - to publish on MPS takes ages and sometimes it NEVER crystallises ! To be *Born a Poet* is a great responsibility - greater than most appreciate - AMEN !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN
