If I should fail…

  Should I fail to say these words
That are etched upon my soul,
If I should fail to give voice
To the thoughts that wrangle for space within my head,
If I should fail to give birth to the dreams, in streams of eloquent consciousness
That run after me,
I would have died a thousand deaths.
I would meld within me,
And evaporate to nothingness.
I would implode.
An empty carcass of being.
Leaving nothing behind,
For you to feel me.

A wordsmith with a vivid imagination, an eager mind and a burning desire to carve out tales. As I journey with my muse to that land of all possibilities and self discovery, I hope my personal evolution will serve as a beacon of inspiration for anyone who chooses to stop by.
