More Blood than Glory

"The purpose of literature is to turn blood into ink." -T.S. Eliot

“You know what hurts the most? When the person you love is suffering and you can’t help them”

There is nothing more important

than the transient notions of technicolor

or the evaporating sentiment of shadows

[madeformorning]

Coin

Only fools follow their heart without question

Those who calculate every circumstance logically are hopeless in their search for reason

It’s best to guess which path to take when you choose your fate

Either your mind dissolves

Or your heart fades

A Scribe Doesn’t Understand: He Takes Notes

Saving pages filled with words of mine

Like anything I’ve said will stand the test of time

Still I can’t bring myself to throw these papers away

As if holding on to my thoughts will make them make sense one day

More and more my sentiments seem to ease my mind

As I keep writing to soothe my soul

Despite my second guesses somehow I know

I’m doing the right thing as I grow old

Learning to let it out and let it all go

I’m holding on for the sake of memories

The only things in this world worth holding onto

And it’s made me realize I’ve been given so much more than

I’d ever imagined I’d be

I don’t know how exactly I got where I was supposed to be going

Knowing I’ve lost myself more than I’ve looked for help

But somehow I ended up in the right place despite myself

Believe what you will but I’m inclined to think

Someone’s been looking out for me

[madeformorning]

On this table we dissect our bond

We weigh out our affection

and carve carefully into cautious hearts

just to leave a mark behind

Divided into fair amounts

Your second guess

My constant doubt

Somewhere between reasoning and disarray

It’s safe to bet we’ve lost our way

Once again left to wander

What’s a road for anyway?

Now, centered in sincerity

I am certain as heavy sleep

Sure of this act alone

I don’t hesitate

I know now the sun will rise again

I don’t trust in words

Or their sentiment

but these are worth remembering
