Posted for One Single Impression
prompt: Inkpot
Thanks to Nessa of http://vanessavkilmer.com/ for a very unique and different prompt....
Putting the post a day earlier..tmrw could be hectic..
didn't want to miss my appointment with OSI....
I (P)enjoy Writing..!!
White sheet of paper
And the poet in me
Got tempted
As the thoughts
From the heart
Started flowing,
I scribbled
“Presence of pain
In my heart doesn’t mean
I am not happy……”
Suddenly, a lump in throat
And a tear from the eye
Rolled out and fell
On the paper
The word ‘Pain ’ got
Scattered and diluted
Had to because I still
Write with an ink-pen
And I love it, that’s why
My table drawer has
A permanent companion
My ink-pot, forever present
Yes, I pen-joy writing
And hey, haven’t I
Found a truth here:
Tears indeed dilute pain…
***
And a Haiku too...
Always leaves
stains on fingers;
My Inkpot
RS:)
