CONNECTIONS

Words are words… and so much more...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Words are words

and letters linger

on light lit pages

dark places of the mind

glowing on lines

wanting release

cavernous peace

emotional fragments

shared and nurtured

they would realize

words link subtle minds

lock in pieces

making connections

fractured recollections

she’ll pick his lock

watch the clock

tick tock taps

the door now open

and in it a fire

how warm the burn

emotions never spurned

voices in her head

just words

his wording expressions

encased in letters

link linked

through distance not mentioned

words are words

and letters linger

their stroking fingers

create a world

not near intentioned

product of their invention

because she spoke

with tick tock taps

and he listened

with his eyes…

Interesting write - the spell words can weave around people...

"dark places of the mind / glowing on lines". - I love that line - writing can release the deepest thoughts or actions or feelings of a person...things sometimes they wouldn't make known face to face...

I enjoyed reading this. Really amazing writing and photo.

This was brilliant! I liked the flow & wording. This was interesting & there were many wonderful lines spoken here.
Beautiful job.

Seems I missed this beauty .. but, in a way, it's become a special weekend gift and I hug it!

What wonderful phrasing, Craig .. and what strikes me - having read it twice is: there's a metronome ticking away, keeping the tick tock taps in a distinct rhythm as if the two are together. A crazy thought perhaps!

You always use words to the fullest extent but in this poem, you've used fewer than usual.. a different style for you. Lovely, meaningful.

Craig, you actually keep me thinking on every line. What do you make me think? Are writing amazing poems easy for you? Because this one is exceptionally good, straight forward and I enjoyed reading this. Great job.

'she spoke

with tick tock taps

and he listened

with his eyes…'

[EmpressPoetess]

Wow, this is so charming! your imagery is vivid and your descriptive dialogue is brilliant. I can see the emotion here....fan-tas-tick!!(:

[Raja]

...and I am simply swept away by the thoughts that conquer all my feeling about relationships. Your finest fabcrication of words with intended visualisation is the Craig mark in every poem; I was searching for it the moment I started reading this marvelous piece. It is there.

Thanks
