A Blank Page

A blank page carries
   stark beauty
Words are but romantic
   drivel
That blot and muddy
   a masterpiece
Directionless they move in
   swift vectors
Meaningless they preach with
   false depth
In desperation they seek
   an audience
To listen and cheer their
   soft fantasy
Truth has no time for such
   nonsense
There can be no expression of
   one's soul
Only as Polaroids indistinct by a
   light's brilliance
Holding but the memory of
   substance
These lines and squiggles are
   worthless
A pastime to convince one of
   importance
They obscure and tether a
   landscape
Unadulterated by man's feeble attempts
   at truth.
