Poetry: Ink

Traces

A quill, a brush
Dipped in black liquid
The scratching sounds against paper
Up, down, curves, loops
Precise or random strokes
Where do you take me?
Light, heavy, trembling or steady?
I am a prism of colors.
I give life to your voice
I manifest your words
I breathe your thoughts
I make your soul visible
I leave your legacy.
Erasable or indelible ink
With odorless, fragrant, or pungent fumes,
I am subtle and bold
Clean and blotched;
Although my crispness might fade
I am a dip, a press away
To be the extension
Of the eternal you.

    The needle scratches
    And etches my skin
    As the blackness flows
    To fill each line
    The outlines completed
    Next come the cobalt blue
    Emerald

    I shook my pen until I found,
    black ink on my face and all around.
    Ink dripping down my nose and cheek,
    I didn't know my pen

    Ink is cool
    We use it to print
    All our stories
    It is used
    For making tatoos
    Ink as many
    Different purposes it can
    Be used for
    Mostly
