Homage to the pen


It is so late,

Midnight in ten,

But I can't leave you,

Dear fountain pen.

Your ink has revealed

So many thoughts,

You have been here

Connecting dots,

Helping me figure out what I feel

By writing down words I would rather conceal.

All this advanced and new, shiny tech

With its impeccable auto-correct

It's trying to make you seem obsolete, old

When, in fact, I esteem you as gold.

Never ever will a bright screen feel

Like a spotless, blank page, that you steal

From a history notebook during the class,

Where you scribble your thoughts just to make the time pass.
