Words/by:Haunted Lunacy

Words mean nothing.
The poet said as he slammed
his book shut and tossed his pen 
 to the floor. Just noise, syllables of 
 a discontent madman, and nothing 
 more. 

Just phrases sculpted by our demons, 
letters shaped from our screams.
Quiet utterances of our deepest fears ,
Fuzzy memories of our distant dreams.

The ink will dry, the pages will rot.
We will die and they will remember us
not.

Words mean nothing the poet said 
as he picked his pen up from the floor 
and opened his book, but her, 
she means everything, he said as
he began to write once more .
