Ink Burned Upon My Name

An unfading melody fills my life
with a beauty
that covers my scars with ink
of a rhyme's desire
I can’t dismiss.  
And  I remember,
some things, move smooth as silk
like  laughter filled words
of a lover’s kiss.

The ink
which is burned upon my name
sleeps with my every hope
searching only…….
for happiness.  
It looks at me with an expectant face
in those moments
when my mind can’t rest.

The slightest touch of this  melody
leaves me waiting to shine  
with outstretched hands.  
My heart overflows with the beauty
of a thousand lights
changing color
at my command.

I can feel
the ink of my soul
writing……
on each and every breath
this melody breathes.  
While the ink burned upon my name
finds the happiness
it needs.

First things first, I could not move my gaze from the image which graces your work for several minutes; simply captivating, and well suited to this lovely work. I find it would be easier to hold my breath than to still my pen. This work so perfectly captures the love you have for your well honed craft. Bravo!

What you use to cover your scars is no ordinary sticking plaster, but a powerful enhancing tool, that not only uplifts you but others around you. Your ability to express yourself like this is a gift. Love the painting also. Leigh
