Papercuts

How many unborn masterpieces lay within your blank pages,
while oceans of ink lay still, and quills await your light embrace.
Paperclips eager to tentatively hold,
while staples.....more permanent.....for decisions more bold.
Erasers for changing a thought or belief
But the impression remains on the pages beneath.
A host of emotions spill from hand and machine,
just 26 letters express thoughts in extreme, or
the tenderest words that can unlock a heart or
simple instructions on just where to start.
Oh stationery shop......please never move.
