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.

interesting play on disconnections within and connecting it through lovers

One of my favorite things about poetry is that we can do anything, like listen with our eyes. Words give power, they can create whole new worlds and ways of being, a pathway to changing the way we see the world. Your poem is a wonderful example of why I love poetry.

This is so beautifully expressed..i love how your words have this effortless fluidity..they seem to merge with one another..coming from the prior word and leading on to the next.I particularly like the last few lines from 'their stroking fingers create a world'...onwards.It is amazing that how writing can be such a gift to the one who knows its power..it can be so soulful and such a beautiful release without any remorse you are with words what your true soul is...hope i read this right ;).
