tyrant of words

when i sit down to write

metaphor personified
dreamer of
lexical delights
chaser of dialectal insights
apprehender of the wonderment
of assonance and consonance
nuding the blissful wildfires
of insomniac desires
evoking wordwinds
that open the eyes
of the blind
as the sighs
of the mind
kindle on paper
rhymes that sweat
out of vapour
a tyranny of words
beyond absurd
distiller of quaternal
intuitions
whose quintessential
visions
burn with the
fire of insight
day and night
to woo a wandering world
into love’s philological fold:
 
that’s the blaze that i become
when i sit down to write
