What are words
but silky caresses
sweet soft kisses
echoes of desire
sounds of passion and longing
What are words
but my air,
my strength, my joy
What are words
but the hurtful slash
of the sharpest knife
the stinging slap
the throes of agony and heartache
What are words
but my wounds,
my weakness, my despair
Words kill me,
And bring me to life again
From abyssmal depths
to freedom, to nirvana
words bring joy
ReplyDeletewords bring sorrow
but words we all need
for a meaningful exchange
i simply love words
such powerful they are
such a mystery some are
the same word could mean
so many different things
to different human beings.
I simply love words ... they are magical :)
