THE EVOLUTION OF A WRITER
THE EVOLUTION OF A WRITER
… breathing in the vowels
and exhaling the words that sleep within,
living in the sound
that is the truth of myself,
drinking the ink
from the fountain of visual splendour,
eternal spring of infinite stories,
reading the lines on ageing skin
spread with wrinkled time
of past musings
and dreams lived in hopeful longing,
laugh lines and tearful tracks,
to face the future with mortal contentment,
laying pen on paper
to rest awhile
the scribbling of a weary nib,
becoming the poetry
that flows like blood in a living manuscript,
unfurling
like the petals of innocence
first feeling the warmth of the sun;
becoming the bird
singing the dawn song of a new day;
the tree
reaching for the sky
where stars unseen still shine with mystery;
the wind
whispering silent caresses
of a lover’s embrace.
My ink has not dried
but simply writes with a different stroke,
in a book with fluttering pages,
of a short story of a breath
that once brushed your tender skin.

oh my Darling Cos,
utterly divine….you are an extraordinary writer, artist and friend. I’m pinching myself that you are in my world and I am in yours

Sigh!!!!!! Very imaginary. I’m sure that this will make the ones’ who have not felt the need to write nor touch the pen try and see how wonderful the ink flows; to see the wonder of how magic is made so easily with a scholar and mentor as you……….
Oh Iris… you are a wonderful spirit indeed. The ink always flows… doesn’t always have to be through a pen. Much love Iris… so lovely to see you. xoxo

Hi Red… kind, beautiful words. Not so sure about being a blessing… I have a few friends who may set that record straight, but until they do I’ll take your wonderful compliment. Many thanks Red. xoxo

mine’s in my poetry
salome guides me
she’s so moved my ink
my thinks in my ink
choreographs my writs
to coded signals
to harmonise and
juxtaposition
closely and closer
tender the hows of
openings or none
where’s a simple way:
the difficult way’s
not playing the om

wow, Judd… such a comment this be. Every veil that is discarded with the dance of living gets us closer to the truth… the head of concerns cut off (figuratively) to rest in the final state of om. Many thanks. Good cheers to you.

Dear Cos, so many lines I love in this evocative poem!!! I love the progression/evolution and the imagery! It is so beautiful to write of
…the sky
where stars unseen still shine with mystery,
and to conclude with the swooning lines
My ink has not dried
but simply writes with a different stroke,
in a book with fluttering pages,
of a short story of a breath
that once brushed your tender skin.
Love it, you lovely man xxx
Many thanks Debbie… you picked my fav lines in this too… where they come from is a mystery to me but overjoyed they chose my hand to jot them down. Much love… you are a dear heart. xoxo

Another depth and dimension. Lovely. xox
Many thanks to you AnLile. Have enjoyed looking at your work… impressive to say the least. xoxo

May your ink never dry till it touches paper, and hearts. It is a treat when you do pick up that pen and your words sing to me in resonating tones.
Hope it is going well for you.
All going well here ’cept for an injured shoulder that has slowed me down… the upshot of that is I can spend some time on RB without feeling guilty, so I am loving my poor physical state. Many thanks to you, Dick… always a delight to see you. Take care, friend.
