The Pursuit of Knowledge [Terza Rima 1]

DeadRose


Notice of absence from DeadRose
Time travelling. Will be around sporadically.

But i -  all i am - made from - are words.

Thoughts - Dandelion seeds - drifting in wind 

Strands strung delicately in patterned 

 

Woven nests Sentences pressed Ideas in mind. 

Hastily sigh, creatively convey, feel

, And birthed dreams never said or find.  

 

My heart clutches similar burning ideal. 

Emotions I seek not, but only passion! 

Here lies, heart and mind, an inner ordeal. 

 

Knowledge! Cram all bits down my throat. My mission? 

consume it entirely, so i too become consumed by it.

To know is an infernal desire. A fission

 

Of thought brings pure ecstasy, fulfillment

for proclaimed voids between word symphonies 

bleeding through veins, chest, heart, mind oh so nonexistent.


I, Wordly Persistent.

    Words dissolve in air. In this poem I hear the narrator identifying with words and their ephemeral nature. A lovely write
