Foggy days

près de la mer [4]

there is a love in which i will always know you, just incase you forget.

Deems to me as being unfathomable

For however much I write

And scribble

The ink has always words left to say

And more insanity to convey

To the reader, to the writer

To his eyes, to mine.

I find myself to be writing

To halt seconds and minutes of time

Till I have a treasure chest of saved moments

Which I shall relive again and again

In despair, in madness, in slaughter

In murder, in glory, in happiness.

My words are too shallow and crude

To convey how I much I yearn to say

Sagas and sagas of folklore and tales

Left untold, catching dust and falling pale.

I wish I wrote with the madness

Which ran inside these veins

For then, these stories wouldn't have been just mine to own

For then, this piece of insanity wouldn't have just my name.
