Colors of Ink

I often think in shades of ink
In black, in red and blue.
In countersink and doublethink
In utter false and true.

In shadows and in fantasy
And sometimes scheme ahead.
But never doubt of ecstasy
Especially in bed.

I haunt the chasm of the why
For answer that are new.
But only wind up with a sigh
And double back on do.

Sometimes I hyperventilate
Fly off in quite a state.
But most, I wait and wait and wait
And just, gesticulate.

But never, ever, wonder far,
My love of you and where you are.

Wave thy hands to and fro but from this poem all should know that when your pen hits the page the colors of ink are explained in the most poetic fashion!! Very well done Seymour!!

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.

Within the colors of your pen's ink flows the crystal clarity of shear poetic flavor and beauty. Superb write sir and very much a piece to find inspiration in life through.
