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!

I just love to write too. You have penned a beautiful love poem to poetry here, Neva. Great title and very interesting concept. For it to be "burned" on your name. It will mark you forever. Nice work, my friend.

And what a fine job you do....But I agree that it is a great release....even if most of my writings are utter nonsense....You are a natural writer, don't put thar pen DOWN

[Neva Flores Smith - Changefulstorm]

Thank ou Dr. Wood. Your writing's are not utter nonsense, they are brilliant. You remind me of the late Dr. S........and how brilliant he was. Where would the world be without his works? You continue writing what you call utter nonsense, we love it. :)

"waiting to shine
with outstretched hands"

And oh, how you shine! This was excellent. I loved every word. "laughter filled words of a lover's kiss"....just beautiful...the expressions and emotion wrought and wrung from your words!

[Neva Flores Smith - Changefulstorm]

Thank you Dear Fabian :)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Writing as a love to express past pain can be powerful and cathartic. A well exprressed poem with rhythim and a distinct melody all of its own

[Neva Flores Smith - Changefulstorm]
