WHERE ARE THE WORDS?
Where are the words?
droplets of disappointment and anger fall to the page.
either it's going to be a cave-in or an eruption.
don't know.
Where are the words?
eggs shells in jagged little pieces with egg goo mixed with it
waiting for all the king's men and horses to put Humpty Dumpty
back together.
Where are the words?
moments of rage intertwine with hope on the edge of a
voracious storm.
grayness blankets the horizon.
Where are the words?
self-sacrifice is not worthy
forgotten about in the dusty corner.
appreciation flushed down the toilet with one little
press of the plastic handle.
Where are the words?
trying to wash away the pain with steaming water.
scrubbing hard but nothing changes.
Where are the words?
in a galaxy far away
in another time and place
things are different, the handwriting is nicer and legible.
one last chance to get it right.
one last chance to catch a falling star with a butterfly net.
Where are the words?

Poetry: Words

Your Voice
Words have the power to heal, to kill or to reveal
When the noise of the world gets so loud that it pierces,
Just
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
by Joeyg
Struggling words......
Laying on a back of moss
I am torn to be free,
Is it a day for my poet
Or the man in me?
I crave inspiration
