INK STAINS

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

Bring your ear
A little closer
Let me whisper
To the dawn
In the awakening
Of my tears
In my soul
So forlorn.

The gentle ebbing
Of the waves
Of the dream
I implore
Let me hear
In my loneliness
Your sweet voice
Again once more.

Enchanted forests
Between the pages
Of the ink stains
Upon my hands
The scattering 
Of discarded paper
A lonely desk
Where silence stands.

    Lonely is the feeling here a relationship separated by space and time. Well written

    What a beautifully sorrowful piece, Norman. The writing space becomes both sanctuary and evidence of absence...filled with imagination, yearning, and everything left unsaid. This one lingers, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

    Good write N. I know it, you were writing poems with a fountain pen at the bus stop, then it rained, and caused ink stains, cos you had to wait so long! lol.
