I Still Write
My fingers pulsate
as a life line
dripping black blood
onto a lifeless
backdrop of
white pressed wood
reviving a
silent voice
without lips ever
having to part...
Oh yes...I still write
as a life line
dripping black blood
onto a lifeless
backdrop of
white pressed wood
reviving a
silent voice
without lips ever
having to part...
Oh yes...I still write

This is a beautiful concept, Teeya.
It goes right to the very essence of writing -- the lively fingers (implement), the shed blood (agent), the hungry parchment (medium), the silent voice revived (message). It reflects a minimalism whose import is of mammoth proportions. Third-party lips are nonessential, because the message bleeds from the fingers to the heart.

This is absolutely beautiful, Teeya... especially adding in the nostalgia of the paper once being wood & your fingers impulsively dripping ink. I love it!
The feel of writing is beyond explanation. To see your thoughts by your own hand is an art form unique to each artist; something a computer nor keyboard could ever create! Thank you for your time and comment 😊.
