Ink Is My Blood Poem by Babatunde Aremu

Ink Is My Blood

Rating: 4.8


I am a poet.
There is ink in my blood.
I flow through lines
As a river meandering its course.
My blood is ink,
Ink is my blood.
I give life to the depressed
I flow to educate
I flow to enlighten
I meander to caution
I wriggle to chastise
I correct ills in the lands
I flow beyond borders
I flow through out the world.
My ink flows ceaselessly after my departure
It flows to the land I never tread
My ink is my life.
My ink may look ordinary
But it is a potent force.
My ink does not faint
My ink is my blood
So, enjoy the drops of my blood

This is very metaphoric and somehow very strong. To consider ink as blood can speak of many things and many considerations. Thanks for sharing.
