purifying the ego: 1.7

waiting and wondering
i'm in the portal
of doubt

who is to know if
this thing shall
shake the rotten fruit

one word- apt
two words- go
three words- won

the candle burns
the fire crackles
the ears ring

what is it to know
what is it to grow
what is it to show

spells of the future
ring around my mind
steps on the stairwell

they're coming now
they're here now
key in the keyhole

"I believe that all human beings must dedicate themselves to writing poetry for half an hour every day, without worrying if the writing is good or bad, if it will be commercially successful or not. Poetry as a constant in life purifies the ego."
