DANCING IN INK

I love dance and I love writing !!!

 

DANCING IN INK

 

My pen dances in ink

feathers quilled and twirl

in the excitement that is my pen.

My mood gives it rhythm

the graceful movement

to slide across my page.

The rhyme that flows from my soul.

Sometimes the dance is slow

so sad, bittersweet.

Steps of drowning tears.

The tears of my heart

pounding with drops of disappointment.

With other splashes of written dance

the mood and movement is angry.

I stomp.

Making my presents known across the page.

Yet on another performance of the pen

my ink dashes along the margins

in pure delight.

Ecstasy that can only come

from the ever passionate mind

of a dancers pen.

Feathers quill the rhythm

and rhyme inside my mind.

That is when my pen takes the lead

in this tango of words.

I become my fantasy.

My mind, lost

absorbed in what is my purest passion.

What more can be said.

Steps splashing in ink.

For me the two intertwine

as though they are the meshing

of two perfect souls.

Souls, seprate but joined

tells a story.

One with the mind.

The other with the body.

In perfect union.

That is why my pen

DANCES IN INK!

What a lovely way to describe the art of writing as a dance upon the page. Wondefully descriptive and beautiful. I really adore this poem. So romantic and heartfelt. 'Presents' should be spelled 'presence' in the 16th line I believe and in the seventh line up from the bottom 'seprete' should be spelled 'seperate'. Minor changes. This is delightful and I really enjoyed how you ran a through a series of emotions that we are all familar with relating in our writing. Thank you. Great job.
Light,
