Calligraphy pen

Submitted by M4GG0TM3NT4L on Mon, 2023-01-09 23:22

the nub, so sharp and lovely
full of life and prowess
as I stab it into my ink well
wonderful, red and dark as it seeps into the paper
as I write these words to you,
a love letter of my deepest affection
And sometimes it hurts so badly to love you
I'm not sure why
I cry out for you, even when I know you're not there
I don't care
I will write in elegant strokes until the day I die for you
flowing movements of my archaic pen
ignore the wound on my hand
and begin
