There's a feeling it is overwhelming...taking over my senses.
Fills me with gusto and zest.
Fills me with uncontainable anticipation.
Edge of wonder kind of feeling..
ready to embrace everything that is hurled at me. 
An endless desire that sleeps within
resurrecting itself from its resting place.
To awaken my beasts hybernating in my mind's trap.


The Cages are undone and my imagination escapes 
making a run for it.
in search of that which piques interest and drives my hunger within.

This is the moment my heart takes over.
I feel everything around me deeply...
My senses attuned for my muse to make her appearance.

The grand one -the divine goddess before whom I kneel.
Upon whose altar I surrender every desire and sin.

Let ink take control and flow where ever it needs to.
No questions asked

She communicates through ink.
She reciprocates with inspiration.
The one who shows me how to live vicariously through words.

A form of expression takes birth within me.
A revolution begins at the tip of my fingers.
