Closest of friends

Another straight from head, a tad more cheery

A closest friend

Do I have my kindle, pads and pens?

Can't leave without them;

They're my closest of friends.

They take me on journeys impossible

to travel, spelling out riddles

 so hard to unravel.

They spin tales so magical in

lands far away, untouched by humans,

Where fairies and imps play.

Together we solve all of lifes issues,

In just a few brief strokes,

we are hero's, lover's and danger -

lurking in corners..a mysterious stranger.

Darkness and light, fixer of all.

Just a slither of ink upon paper, a font on

your screen; we are words of imagination.

A hunger to be seen.

I have a habit of carrying my mobile phone and diary along with me wherever i travel, even if it becomes hard to carry a diary, i simply take the help of my mobile as i type all that comes into my mind instead of writing... sometimes, it becomes difficult to write down in a diary beautifully, so mobile becomes a better choice... your poem is based on reality and applicable for all the lovers of writing...
thanks for sharing this beautiful piece, i always enjoy your poems; hope you do the same for mine too...

When I get out of my home I take my mobile at first along with a diary so that I don't miss any thoughts on writing... I love writing on pages with ink, they just lifts my heart... A very thoughtful write H, I really enjoy watching you play with your thoughts and words....
The best thing you are doing is that you are writing again which I really missed... Whatever the thought is just write it down and you will come up with such incredible pieces of works like this...

You are welcome, just as you lift my heart... After all we are frnds and it's about being there for each other when we go through any hard time....

I like the line a slither of ink.
Not sure when you are talking about reading or writing- or just want them together.
It'd be fun to separate the two and then have them twist together...
just an idea. :)
