penmanship

words slowly leak from tip of pen
pad slowly devours each drop as its pumped out
paper sighing happily as the story is sporadically stroked out
long deep lines lead to shallow transitions
quick strokes in blind ecstasy switch to slow thoughtful ones
climatic ending seems so near yet is so far
each stroke of the pen can either bring sweet relief
or another session of pleasurable torture
