I Know What I Mean: In the beginning Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Socky P: My apologies, I thought I had archived this already. Wikipedia made some alterations to their numbers for whatever reason, which interferes with achieving the proper final cords. Puzzles this difficult don't get much action these days, so it's not worth chasing my tail on this one. Thanks for the kind words from those who enjoyed the challenge this one provided.

You haven't heard from me in quite a while, and when I realized the length of time I've been away I figured you probably missed me and have been wondering what I've been up to.

A while back I had a revelation that I enjoy writing poetry. Some of my poems can be a bit dark, some quite lyrical and inspirational. I'll share a few verses with you, let me know what you think. And then see what you can do with the puzzle that leads to this cache.

It seems easy enough to me. But as I said once before, maybe that's just because..... I know what I mean.

Alone within a storm and losing hope. I'm
lost in a subway, I guess I'm losing time.
The face that launched a thousand ships, is sinking fast.
A pawn on a chessboard, a false move.
It's an illusion it's a game. So why do
I find it so difficult to let my feelings unfold.
They get me confused boy. My fire is burning low.
