Analysis of The ink pen



Fire, burning churning within

Goldengate bridges I jumped, just me and my pen

Traveling, challenging my next of kin

To a jousting duel i'm born to win

A legacy that's pregnant with destinys child

The afterbirth sits with the physician at idle

The titanic a mystery, it sleeps with the deep

My NotePad survived while the others they weeped

Sapphires, and choirs sing in my ink

My pen is embodied in every thought that I think

Poetry of a poets quest for the next door

Escalators going up

Take the steps to the next floor

While me and my ink pen

Move on to the next chore
