The Ink Within | Teen Ink

The Ink Within MAG

By Anonymous

     In silent sorrow death may lie
unshaken in a turbid shore
that brings not truth, nor blinds the eye
but tides away forgotten lore.
And if by chance or luck may see
a glimpse of pallor on this page,
do note that words must hold the key
to fall through perfect passing age.
Will the ink I write, as you read
still shake the marrow of the bones?
A passion here, if you agree
that even time leaves turned alone.
But I, who looks into a dawn
who marks a fair and fervid piece -
from poet’s dreams the lines are drawn
a writer’s thoughts that never cease.

I can't explain what i mean. And even if i could, I'm not sure I'd feel like it. -Holden Caulfield, the Catcher in the Rye

Very nicely written, you had a nice balance between wordy and direct. Many poems speak too plainly and take away from their own beauty, and many more use flowery words just to sound pretty, which takes away from the message. I like your style, how the poem seemed to flow in circles around the subject rather than diving straight at it or looking at it out of the corner of its metaphorical eye.

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame,
Where there is a flame someone's bound to get burned.
Just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die,
You've got to get up and try.

Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Love it

The truth is that at some point, everyone's going to hurt you. You just have to decide who's worth the pain.

Some say having something to lose is what makes you vulnerable. I believe that having something to lose only makes you stronger.

Lovely!

Your poem flowed extremely well and I'm rather impressed with all the fantastic words you chose to use.

Sometimes using rhyme takes away from a poem's meaning, but you used it perfectly.

You are extremely talented. I love this poem; it flowed perfectly, and oftentimes poems that rhyme- at all- sound forced or awkward...but not this poem. It truly is beautiful...
