Fortis Vadom Existo Debello

The Valliant Shall be Vanquished This has religious overtones

And if i write

shall i write with my hearts blood?

Perhaps i could write of loves sweet tenderness

Or it's deepest bitterness

 

May my pen serve well

my writing on this wall

 

Yet when all is said

and finally done

All is vanity

A striving after wind

 

If i should write a marvelous sonnet

or build a mighty bridge

My thoughts will perish along with bones

returning to the dust

 

For when i lie down (as we all must)

with my forbears i shall be the same as all

Just Dust

 

We may as well try and hold the wind

For The Valliant Shall Be Vanquished

And yet we all continue to try and catch that wind with are fingertips. Been bonding with King Solomon lately, huh? With all his wisdom, this is what he found to be true. But his very last words, the conclusion of the matter, was wisdom indeed. Superb writing. A delight to read such melancholy.

And our words shall be our legacy. At least we shall be remembered?Perhaps, perhaps not. Lovely poem Linear, very lovely indeed

I loved this, absolutely loved it. In the end, all we have our or words said and written. One day, we will be gone, and what will be left of us? Just words scribbled down on a paper, the essence of what we once were.

Strongly beautiful and wonderfully expressed.

Very powerful read here. I like this write.
I agree with what Poppy said.

guess we never can dictate much when it comes to writing, reminds me of Miguel de Cervantes "the pen is the tongue of the soul."

I adore the style of this one love! We, as writers, try to capture all and the pen sees more than us at times, maybe! But what is left at the end of the blistered session of purging, we can stand back and know at least the ether has heard our words! xx
