The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Lines written after again reading Robert Southey

I read Kehama’s Curse again,

Felt each word unleash upon me,

That silent and ancient litany,

Awaking walls that ever surround me,

Binding me enclosed in black.

 

Soft shadows no longer dance for my eyes,

The open sands no longer call,

For here alone I now reside,

Imprisoned in my soul.

 

No weapon forged can harm my form,

Not beast of blood or venom born,

Nor the things from this earth torn,

Will cause me pain or cause me death,

For every thing by this, is less.

No elemental fire or ice,

No weather fierce nor sacrifice,

No pain can I now fear,

No sorrow shall I feel,

For there is naught within this world,

What ever threat and fear,

There is no anguish in this world,

Than what binds me here.

 

And in my cell of sealed walls,

The stone is burned away,

Sealing within this onyx tomb,

My role in this life’s play.

 

I read Kehama’s Curse again,

Felt each word unleash upon me,

That silent and ancient litany,

Forging walls that now surround me,

Forever sealed in black.
