WORDS~~~~~ What can be a secret? A whisper? Or A lie? Can be used to reveal a truth Or used to make you cry? What comes to us in poetry And makes it fun to rhyme? It’s obvious and condescending showing up just in time. Some of us hang on every one and some we end up eating.. Some come out too quickly While some are worth repeating Some never need to be spoken For they are known with just a touch With them you can express yourself While others can hurt so much. I like to make them up and I love manipulating I’m rarely at a loss for them I find BIG ones stimulating Without them I would not be here now I suppose neither would you Nor would there be any poetry For all of us to review. It can be all a man has or be the best part of a song Can get us in or out of trouble and sometimes be taken wrong. Some of us misuse them and often take them for granted I will be the first to confess With them, I’ve Raved and Ranted But as much as we love them we neglect to appreciate How powerful are the emotions they can sometimes create. To imagine life without them Is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard But hearing what you had to say Leaves me hating every WORD |
