Invisible Ink

I wrote a poem today the most beautiful poem you could ever imagine The words had been hidden deep in my heart, sequestered there for so very, very long - then, awaiting expression, like an avalanche, they spilled forth as diamonds cascading down from Paradise Down and down they fell onto the waiting and eager page glistening so brightly they took my breath away dazzling in the darkness of my room Illuminating all that lay within But then, without warning, they began to disappear melting away before my eyes, fading, fading - fading back into infinity (oh the pain, the indescribable pain) so I grappled desperately with my hands to save them - unable to do so, because I didn't realise, I had been using invisible ink - So now, they are lost forever Never to be recaptured - Perhaps you will find them one day hidden deep in your own heart sequestered there - for so very, very long ©️27/8/2024 Valerie Dohren
