Words…
I never thought would speak,
the language my soul seek,
blabber of my heart, abstraction of
thought,
dreams relinquished, hopes bleak.
Words…
through
dark alleys of my heart, they cruise
expose
everything held close, every shame, every bruise
uproot guilt,
fear, let the light shine through
quietly
bear my burden, why that they do…
Words…
With some sorcerer’s magic,
turn soot of my heart into ink
cast
my sins in alluring curves
on
white oyster, shine black pearls
something that I don’t have to hide
my sins sublime become absolute pride
Words…
never judge me, blame me when I
in unknown grudge tear, throw them in bin,
come running at my first call hanging on
thread
of
my memory, pray silently for deliverance from sin.
Words...
don’t yell, stay quiet, whenever I want
them by my side,
give my solitude resonance, sail me over
every tide,
Suck all the tar out, fill me with verve.
Words….
I don’t deserve.

Hi Meenakshi,
ReplyDeleteWhat a post using words and dedicated to words itself. This post reminds me of one of my favorite songs of Boyzone 'words'
"It's only words and words are all I have, to take your heart away."
Wonderful lines.
Keep up the good work
Regards
Jay
