a love song

I create art with my words
Carve it with a pen
My brain is the artist
My mind is the soul

I can twist and manipulate
Lines of ink, o my artist
To forming meaning and emotion
With the flick of my wrist

How can I create such beauty
Like a song it reads
Sings to my heart
Soothes my swarming head

My anger, sadness, destruction
Is transformed
Into a birdsong
Sweet from it's lungs

I wish I could escape
In the words, o my artist
I wish I could sink away
And let the water submerge me

But it just cascades
Like a waterfall
And I stay there whilst
It keeps me alive

But it also drowns me
It drowns me, o my artist
