My Pen Whispers

197 35 31
                                    


My pen whispers
in the sweet scratchy sound
that leaves your name
a trailing swirling line
on the aged surface
of my blank memories.

An assonant thought
that meets no standards
                          no structure
                                no metric
                                      no rhyme
                                            no rhythm.

Voice!
yes it has a voice
a whimpering cry
that echoes on the wall of solitude
where
tears of indigo
              carmine
              and purpurin
fill the well
of a broken heart

                               My pen whispers...
