Pen & Pencil

by Mad Hatter - Capricorn

Pen and pencil
In a set, crossed,
Silver and gold,
Awaiting the stroke
Of a sure hand
And a quick mind
To set them free,
To tell a tale
Deep from the heart,
To unfold the path to 
An enchanted, unknown land.

At the Pen and Pencil,
On a stool at the bar,
Her long legs crossed,
Her curly hair shimmering like gold,
Long after the stroke
Of midnight, she longs for
A sure hand and quick mind
To set her free,
To tell a tale
She can believe,
To lead her to an enchanted land,
To unlock the mysteries
Buried and misplaced  
In the depths 
Of her heart.
