Poem submission by Benvenuto Garisto

Words cannot express,

So I will make a new alphabet!

A new language!

New stories!
New libraries!

I will make new dungeons
to house it’s secrets.

I’ll make new voices
that can’t be heard
and have no sound.

I’ll make it all!

I’ll make new legends,
new legacies,
new testaments,
and lore,

I’ll make everything and nothing,
I’m yearning for more!

More towers,
more screaming,
no exit,
no door,

From here to the sky
and the ocean floor!

Nothing is safe
and nothing has started,
so remain calm,
seated
and keep your hair parted,

Nothing is sacred,
nothing can rest,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

I vow to impress,

As I tell the feeling,

Words cannot express!
