Pen and Ink trails

The tip of my pen 
slides on a blank paper. 
The trail takea me 
nowhere to anywhere,
to everywhere-

I am where my 
pen moves. 

The wet sand on feet,
The snowy breeze 
of the Arctic. 
The mellow sun shining 
upon a hill and 
Flamingos flying en masse
to Lake Baikal--

I could go to space if 
the trail takes me or
spend nights in my grave, 
if it's deemed necessary--

I am what my pen 
makes out of me.

my mind seems to be 
a dark room and 
only ink can guide 
light there.
and until I put it on paper, 
I don't even recognise 
my thoughts. 

It's my face or a mask,
I don't know. 
I hardly know what I feel. 
and if you sense it
after reading-
let me know.
