Ebb & Flow

Drip!
Ebony tears glide, touch the pane,
Vermillion, Amber, Indigo spiral,
All the truths known,
Disguised and scrawled
Across paper pane.

The lion and the peacock emerge,
Ebony stroke by ebony stroke,
Anguish, pain, beauty, love
Utopia of raw emotion,
Blended perfect,
As the finest spring bouquet,
The pungent sting so real,
Scratches at the core.

Worlds swirl and collide,
Characters align and disappear,
Life imitates art once more,
The transience of the moment,
Flash!
The ink dried from the quill,
Recorded,
Ebony stroke by ebony stroke,
Trapped and expressed
Frames in time.
