The synapses of my brain are firing fast.
Thoughts melting down into my hand,
like molten lava down a mountainside.
Words pour forth,
and like that same lava,
when it hits the cold ocean waves,
they cool -
becoming solid on the page.
The ink from my pen
has branded this cream colored stock;
an ebony flow of liquid ideas,
tattooed.
But they are fragile,
these words.
Susceptible to crumpling, burning, tearing.
I want to carve them deep into stone,
and hide them away in a cavern,
far below the earth's surface.
To never be yellowed with age,
or destroyed by the oil of fingers,
lovingly touching the page.
