The day I found the words
By their light I’ve been led
I walked into a darkened room
Embraced its thrill instead
A newer world I found, not better
The beasts changed the skins
That day I found the words
& they haven’t left me since
Sheltered ‘neath a warm shroud
of grace that pumps from the heart
In a room of ice & sorrow,
dreams & reckless lies
Desperately benign, I was
a theory wrong before the start
There still lives a shattered wish
Eternally it dies
’cause the day I tried to live
Is all that I can celebrate
Staring back from wastes of mind
In my regressive state
That was when the words possessed
the bitter, faithless prince
splashed with waves of ink & blood
& lines that can’t convince
Never to be told again
The tale only I knew
Written in my eyes
It somehow reached a random few
& forever to be borne
The weight of all that’s true
I keep inside, so that it wouldn’t
Find its way to you
’cause all I wanted was to see
The way this road begins
Before we moved
I found the words
& they haven’t left me since
N.B.

Great to see you “finding words” again.

Mr. “Words seem to elude me” over here – I knew you were being modest. Now who’s the bad writer? 😛 As always, inspiring, and it’s a challenging read but in all the right ways. What can I say? I’m privileged to be friends with such a visionary ^_^
okay okay, let’s say I was talking about my reaction to your piece, since I did lack the words at that moment.. just like I do now.. thanks so much man.. I almost forgot how great it is to be here, and I guess that’s my fault.. fuck it.. i’m stayin 🙂
You better – we ambassadors gotta stick together 😛 especially with the increasing traction on the site over the past few days, I’m confident that we’ll be back to our regular, inspired, selves in no time!
