Scripturam

Words have a pulse,

They bleed and they bruise,

Like a heart’s beating impulse,

Only that you get to choose.

 

Like a scream gone ignored,

Or a sob in dark, behind closed doors,

There’s nothing worse than moving towards,

A life, you know, not meant to be yours.  

 

Words have a bite,

They stab and they poke,

These things that I write,

The fires they stoke.

 

Shaping abstract thoughts,

Into feasible delights.

Wrestling words out of mind,

Unto paper,

It’s a most unholy fight.

 

But words have a touch,

They cry and they sing,

To some, they’re not much,

But to me, they are everything.
