DESIRE OF A PENA Poem by Carmina EchaviaA black pen lying on the
table It waits for the hand That will let its body dance And share its ink To the resting paper.
I place it between my
fingers. My hand chokes it to death. Chained and beaten, The pen is my slave. I command it to spit its
ink.
Words to lines, I see them But they are not breathing Like the way of nature, The earth swallows them.
My fingers hold the pen
still, My eyes on the white paper I search for any written
word But I see nothing.
And so I let the black pen
free. A black pen lying on the
table It waits for the heart That will let its ink Breathe on the white paper" The heart of a writer. © 2017 Carmina Echavia |
