INKlinations
“I ink, therefore iamb.”― Adrienne Gusoff
i have an ink for you, if you are lonely,
which i am well inclined to sing aloud:
this ink flows not for haughty men or proud;
it’s custom-made to soothe the lonely only.
i have an ink for you if, freshly broken,
your heart reels from the gaping jaws of grief.
your canvas i shall fill with sweet relief;
for you alone i spill this inky token.
i have an ink for you, if circumstances
have trapped you in a corner of the earth
where you have lost the reason for your birth,
too full of fear to welcome second-chances.
abundant inks for nameless inclinations
that steal the zeal of every bold appeal,
my spillage rides on fountain wings that heal,
siphoned to help you find your soul salvation.
