A Loner's Heart Dances In the Ink - April 10, 2011




A Loner's Heart Dances in the Ink

The sky's nose is pressed to the window of a loner's heart
Knowing something dances in the bottom
And it stands in front of him

Nothing in life shows what a loner really feels
More than that fountain of ink
Whispering from her pen

Still the sky wonders if there is anything really there
Or if a loner's heart is merely full
Of emptiness dancing bare

You can see the sky's ear pressed ever so closely
Against the window of a loner's heart
Listening to the pulsing beat

Knowing something wondrous dances in the bottom
That is timeless, yet still he wonders
If it only dances in the ink

  4. Can really relate to this one as it seems I express myself so much better with the written word. Have often thought of myself as inarticulate, but told I am wrong. In the process of writing the mind and heart has a way of expressing itself not available in a verbal exchange. I am sure your feel the same.
