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

What's the word I'm looking for? Poetic. It doesn't rhyme, but it's poetic. I really did feel that you and the quill were one and the same. I think you spoke to all writers in this piece. Great job Colton. I applaud you! I wrote one similar. it's called writer & pen.

[Colton Warr]

Beautiful images. Like an ode.. but much more simpler and closer to heart, more real. Very nice.

That's true emotion. A man may love his wife. But an artist is eternally devoted to his medium. May you and your Quill continue to be with each other and create many more children like this one.

[Colton Warr]

Thank you for seeing that, my friend. I appreciate you reading my work and I apprcaite you commenting on it. Thanks for reading!

"You switch the blood in my IV to ink" made me stop and think. On the one hand that is a profound thought that goes well with this piece - but as a stand alone image it makes me shudder. Grainy black ripe smelling ink entering your veins, blending with your blood, probably killing you.

I'll have to think more on what that line means, and what you intend for it to mean. Ink as inspiration, an IV of ink as a good or bad thing, or something in between.

I love the way you are thinking about this. Honestly I leave it up to the reader to interpret what they see and feel between the words. I'm glad you liked this and I'm happy it got you thinking. Thanks for reading!
