Why do I write with invisible ink? Why do I write with invisible ink?Why do I write with invisible ink? by ~kybrdgal
Why wallow in this my passionless fate,
A rainbow of dreams I'm forced to rethink,
Where pragmatic voices gently dictate?
T'was love at our first encounter back then
A true partnership none else would equate.
Which well-meaning sense praised time and again
Yet detoured to paths more verdant and straight.
For Life took it's time to whisper the truth:
That poverty will contentment negate.
While tarrying at the crossroads of youth
Weak I was to heed what old wives would state:
The heart's choices paint not one's future pink.
That's why I write with invisible ink.
Obsolete Our library, 'tis a lonely place,Obsolete by ~kybrdgal
Mere shadow of its bustling self,
For curious souls no longer pace
Each aisle between each crowded shelf.
Spiders loosed have spun their homes
'Neath tables stowed in empty nooks.
A different kind of bookworm roams
And feasts on yellowed dormant books.
Long idle years have snowed upon
Untrodden floors an inch of dust;
Brass knobs, erst rivals of the sun,
Have shed their coats for autumn's rust.
Fingers shrewd that once leafed through
Each dog-eared tome with eagerness
Now deftly type a word or two
To start a vapid search process.
'Cause those who used to beat a path
Towards its doors after ea
!
