The Collector

"Don't fall in love again. That's a line they will feed you." -- Buckcherry

The Collector

Every man has the same size soul.
Every word here -- a piece of mine.
Something to keep.
Something to inspire.
Something to reassemble into the greater.

Oh Holy Journal--
(You hear my prayers)--
I am *Word*.
Keep it close to the heart.

In Heaven, we will read every book ever written.
With God, our potentials will be realized.
The great writer inside will have all he needs,
An author on the otherside.
That is what I believe.

I live by the pen.
Ink vein paper trails.
I collect it all--
To be it all--
Never die (not really)--
I am *Word*.
Collector.

Remember me.

Words
Precious toys
Strings of characters
Shaping ambiguous phrases
Ready for assimilation
By the collector
Who wants to keep them all

Thank you Nobius for your challenging text

Thanks Neon! I like this piece a lot though I do think it needs a little polishing still.

Alas words can never be perfect.
