sonnet 43

2/12/13

books extract memory faultless in death

with words resonating between pages

leaving a legacy in dying breath

an idea to store in the ages

inspiring greatness in all children

words burrow into the subconscious mind

things that we can't view even in our beds

and each story is but one of a kind

imagination is feared by those not

by those without originality

and with this written a body may rot

and people will last an eternity

black ink bleeds from the pages white

into the mind to purge the blight
