Words Of The Flesh

Describe WordsOfTheFlesh here.

The love and addiction of words. How we use them against each other, how they brace us together.

I delight in words, how i can craft them, change them, narrow define delight. I think in words, in flowing sentences, novels, poems, narrative rants. Words is where i first delighted in control, look i thought a universe that must obey my will. -Dawn

somebody once asked me if i made my words or if my words made me. i still haven't found the answer.

I am a writer and I have an obsession with words. Even in my dreams, there are no sounds, only streams of text coming from people's mouths. The title of this page was inspired by Samantha. We spent a night watching 'The Pillow Book' and then the next day she let me write 'She Walks in Beauty' by Lord Byron on her back. I thought it was the perfect poem.

I've always cut myself to relief pain, grief, tension and just about anything else. But I have never carved any words into myself. I've wondered about that, and why people would use certain words. I know that I wouldn't carve a word because the next day I would be sick of staring at the formation of symbols ]that's what a word is :)]

There was a philosopher and mathamitician who had a theory that words were the reason for all altercations in the world. That if everyone expressed themselves through math formulae and numbers that everyone everywhere would understand everyone else. It's obviously wrong, but the most interesting proposal for world peace that I've ever heard. ~Aeris

Aeris, those points are interesting...

I think words go only so far as your faith in them. I can carve hateful words into my skin and go out and do positive things the next day. No matter what negative things I say to myself, eventually, the tables turn.

But it works the other way around. Words fall flat. I start countless idealistic, optimistic stories that never get finished. What beautiful crazy stories I make up, what I dream of, diminishes into the air. Words aren't the reason for my tenacity.
