My Quill

My Quill
A Poem by Colton Warr

Abrupt inspiration floods over me
As I sit at my desk
You are the only one in my company
I do not need the rest

A crack from the fireplace
My attention lead astray

As your eyes meet mine I am revived
My attention restored
There is none quite like mine
Forever my greatest reward

You switch the blood in my IV to ink
My heart comes alive, I cannot blink

You are all of my words, all of my lines
"You'll need this" you say as you set down a quill
But see, I have had it this whole time
You are forever it, and be it forever you always will

These words are for you as all of them are
They hold all of my love, let them lead you to my heart

You have described the very core of 'writing'. Writing is not only about writing, it is important to connect with the object(s) that one uses to write his/her masterpiece. The two must have a deep bond, for the worlds will flow naturally from the friendship between a writer and his tools. You have made me appreciate my computer even more. He and I understand each other completely know, I even call him 'Nightshatter'. Haha but this poem is a true masterpiece. A masterpiece that must be known to every writer in this world of us.

Good job :D

Thank you so much, my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed this one! It is very important to connect with ones muse! For as a writer, that is all that we have. It is our blood and bones. I'm glad reading my words here made you appreciate it that much more! Thank you so much for the kind words and thank you for reading!

No problem friend. My mom always says that a writers tool is the best friend of a writer :)

True, the connection of a writer to their pen is unlike any other. The pen in the only thing in the world besides you that knows what you want to say. It holds many secrets. A great description of this :)

[Colton Warr]

Thank you very much, Amber! I'm glad you enjoyed this one. Every now and then I think it to be proper to pen a piece about your muse. Thanks for stopping by and checking this one out!

Very good rhyiming. It flowed well and wasn't forced upon at all. Also your descriptions were very intense, allowing me to literally "feel" the poem. Amazing job

[Colton Warr]

A writers inspirations can come in many forms! brilliant write. I especially liked
"You switch the blood in my IV to ink
My heart comes alive, I cannot blink"

So very true once we are inspired how we bleed it all out on the page!

[Colton Warr]

I'm happy that you enjoyed this piece, my friend! I appreciate you giving it a read! I couldn't agree more! Once the cut, rather, the wound of an idea is created the blood rushes to be freed upon the page!

[sereenaoutloud]

You are more than welcome..it was a pleasure to read!! great write!

Sometimes the muse hides from us but when she comes out, the world seem to revolve only between the muse and the writer.A beautiful dedication to a writer's source of inspiration.

[Colton Warr]

Thank you very much Gabrielle! You hit it right on the head! The Muse is something of great value and inspiration, and I wanted to pay tribute to it with this. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for reading!
