The Book

Another one of my deep in thought kinda writes.

I have filled these pages,

With the joys and distress

Of all my yesterday's

No reason to live in regret.

 

From my own birth,

Til this very moment I have lived

Treading through the darkness

Forever engraved upon my memories.

 

Tearing away the pages,

Written of bittersweet romances

Only to be rewritten by another piece

Of my heart that has been taken from me.

 

Grief and loss have filled these eyes

Swimming in the ideas of madness

My own imagination, I soar the skies

Instead of drowning in the sorrows.

 

Many dreams that have washed ashore

Coming into a clear reality, taken for granted

In the sleepless nights that I have written

My thoughts and tears - my life is a book.

 

Black ink never runs clean,

There is always some story to tell

Until the end of my days have arrived

Regrets are none, and I will live for now.

Ink bleeds onto pages .. A book is being written .. Not a fantasy of a vacant mind, but a true telling of reality ...

Interesting .. J. x

Always flowing with your imagination... your ink will never dry. The Book of your stories live forever within your heart, for the here and now will be a memory one day, and you must write it down! Love your work, as always! :)

"Black ink never runs clean,
There is always some story to tell"

i love those lines!

[Raven Starhawk]

Robust writing...this has definite resolve that penetrates the imagination with wonderful images.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

This is poeticly beautifully worded! Never regret, just live. I think the title fits it perfectly. In some ways we're all like a book, storing away memories of sadness and happines to be pondered back upon later!

[Priscilla Sayers]

Nicely done, as always you have a strength within your words that explodes across the page. No regrets, just live.

[A Soap Mess Stories]

Nicely written...could feel the heartbreak and regret in your words...loved the first line in the last stanza: "Black ink never runs clean,"...
