Are you,
A women are man,
of you word.
Weighing the meaning,
of the word.
Before it flys'
from the mouth.
Just like,
the finest sword.
Which stings and slashes.
Cutting deep,
even through bone.
Their are words,
shaped by the
heart and mind.
Sharper then
this.
Cutting deeper,
into the human form.
Passing through that bone.
To the soul it seeks,
to lay hold.
To the mind it seeks,
to crush.
To the heart it seeks,
to break.
Growing like a
mold festering inside.
However, the use of a word,
applied correctly.
With fore-thought and love.
Can even mend,
the soul.
Allowing one's heart
to really forgive.
Giving clarity to one's mind.
Closing all the wounds.
It would be wise,
not to underestimate.
The power of the written word.
Nor the said word.
Even the unsaid word.
Wields more power,
then any weapon.

I am torn to be free,
Is it a day for my poet
Or the man in me?
I crave inspiration
From
Words... like autumn leaves
Blowing in the wind
Ever rustling on the edge of our consciousness
Falling but never staying
by Pamela Folks
Words on a paper,
Piercing my heart.
My eyes blur before me,
As I read the words, words, words.....
Spelling it all out before
I danced with the devil,
Because he fed me a line,
Words upon words,
Mixed with rose colored lies.
Words of deception,
Flowed
