• The words are silent, the smells obnoxious
    Blues, purples, blacks, yellows
    A bruise, a stain on my lifeless page
    Try to smooth it into the parchment and
    It grows.

    Spreads like wildfire,
    Ancient phoenix reborn time again
    Scourge and smith of knowledge
    Shape the blotch on the page
    Change it.

    Ink and fire, let it burn!
    Fragile, the page takes flight
    Brilliant embers reduced to dull ash.
    Conquered page, letter.
    It lives!

    Silence is serene
    Insanity fills the air
    Two spots now, the ink marks the page.
    Sweet sensations, burn again!
    Eat it alive!
