Bleeding Ink

Words formed on listless tongues
Spoken mundane and all jumbled up


Artificial lifeblood from a single vein
Used by poets and authors to scribble and stain
A story, a rhyme, a grand tapestry
Upon which the soul is indelibly inked


The viscous core coaxing ash from the flames
Bleeding ink on an un-tattered page
Sealing the script and setting the stage


Nations collapse, empires are forged
From the bleeding ink striking the chords
Dimensions imagined, with life to create
As gods with the purpose of penning each page


Be it internal, infernal, unspeakably hard
Or as simple as reaching so near from afar
It all starts by dipping the quill in a jar

Basically, according to the universe's second best computer, what you're saying is, in other words, that the answer to life, the universe, and everything is...
Quill? Yeah, makes sense to me. Looks like everything bleeds ink :)
