The Inkwell of the Heart
In shadows cast by moonlight's gentle sway,
The feathered quill, it dips into the well,
Ink stains like teardrops on its trembling clay,
Embracing heart's desires, it longs to tell.
With each stroke's dance, words begin to flow,
Unveiling secrets buried deep within,
The inkwell echoes whispers, soft and low,
As faded parchment holds a soul akin.
Oh, fragile vessel, guide this trembling hand,
To etch emotions on this aged terrain,
With every stroke, an intimate command,
A testament to love's enduring reign.
Through quill and ink, heart's true tale unfolds,
In sonnet's form, their story now beholds.
