the lesser ones of us
struggle to express ourselves in verse,
our thoughts seemingly trapped
in deep dark crevices,
like fishbones caught in the throat

twenty-six letters,
hardly much to go upon
but amazingly articulate is he,
like a mighty warrior with his trusting sword,
he roams through life with his words,
baring himself for all's delight

those letters come alive
when he writes
they trust him to pen them right
like a puppy and its unconditional love,
they lie obediently
and queue up orderly, one by one,
to be composed on paper

and so he writes
he weaves magic,
pushing his writing to the limits,
endeavouring, embracing new forms of expressions
and his words always come through for him,
so comfortable they are with one another,
so in chemistry they are

if you call someone who is good with locks a locksmith
i wonder if you can call someone gifted with the pen a wordsmith

for sven is one and most deservingly so...

I've been away for a while, but I do remember reading a lot of his work, and you pay him a wonderful tribute.
