Ink-Heart

I cant copy my heart
and show you a map,
but I can tell how I feel
as we start to backtrack

Crawling with love
roaring in my ears,
its the beat that I feel
and not all that I hear

A touch from a mind
vast oceans away,
is calming me gently
a maelstrom delayed

A shower of teardrops
carved the sorrow and pain,
but the warmth of emotions
is like the sun to the rain 

And aching of chambers
pumping life force to free,
another form of healing
drawing sap from a tree

The laughter of children
my hearts musical notes,
drifts through my windows
my spirits lifted with hope

Charting life's journey
as I show from my art,
and I'll bleed from my pen
forever with my Ink-heart

I am still not sure on this write I have had a look at it this morning and changed it but I am still not satisified ... not sure something isnt right and ... maybe its just too flat I've been writing very flat the last few weeks maybe the break while I am away will give me a little energy in my writing I am so not happy with it at the moment but anyway thanks for the read darlin I am glad you liked it ... LOL wish I did ... something isnt right with it and I cannot put my finger on it and its sending me barmy lol (huggles) love and higgest bugs Jayne x x x

I do what I can , and in some ways I have more time than other people here to help lol and it makes me feel useful ... something I havent felt since I got sick soo its filled a void having to give up my music has left a massive hole in my life ... Its hard when I get calls all the time wanting me to do things (not everyone realises I am sick)and sometimes lately I cry and say I would love to BUT ... so Neopoet is as good for me as I maybe for it, and it has sheltered me through some rough weather this last seven months lol its seven months yesterday since I joined ... time has flown ... and dragged in the same breath lol thanks for the comment on this one I dont like it I think somethings wrong with it but I cant put my finger on it ... its sending me balmy maybe leave it for a few days I ahve a freestyle poem I have been working on for a month might finish it and give this one time to breath and come back to it ... sometimes I find things are clearer when I do that .... hope your both over your flu I am going to be round a bit tonight will write you both and catch up this weeks been ... hectic lol ..Tell Olya I said ello and huggles Love and higgest bugs Jayne x x x x

Yes, Jayne,

that's the movie that was made from the book. Cornelia Funke is the author, and there are two sequels (Ink Blood and Ink Death). I devoured the whole series, couldn't wait for part 3 to be published! So if you ever feel like reading a lot of wonderful words, you should try to get your hands on those books :) Yours, ~Nina
