My Hearts an Ink Blot

My Ink Blot

Amazing how a single chord or a smell can bring a flood of memory

melancholy that can bash out a smile

laughter

or a tear

ahhh the heart

my heart

tender as a stargazer that drips it’s pigment on the night

to cast an indelible mark

a stain of pain or ecstasy
