The Language of the World

I'm figuring out what Coehlo said...and finally seeing it in my life. <3

 

When I first saw your face

Wow, she’s right

I am bubble gum pop

 

I’m reading The Alchemist

I was beginning to wonder

If I’d ever learn the Language of the World too

 

Especially the part of it I yearn the most for.

 

So yeah

I had that feeling

I started feeling

 

Damn you, David Archuleta

For saying everything

That I’m feeling

 

I’m sorry. I wish I could be more original.

 

I want to wrap you in my arms

Hold you tight

Kiss you all over your face

 

Caress your long, pale hands

Wanting your fingers to tap me

As much as you tap the keys

 

If I could shove you onto this couch

Rub you down

Love you

 

Feel your stubble from your chin

On my poor, chapped lips

Maybe you can moisten them

 

I’ll warm you up

Hold you as far as my short arms can reach

But hold tightly what I can

 

I wish this were real

And not something that has to be coaxed out

By music

 

And being the poor

Ugly

Hopeless

 

Romantic, I am. Damn, I wish this were real

 

But all things

Under heaven

As the song says, have a purpose

 

According to Coehlo

Part of the Language of the World

Is love

 

While I’m not fluent yet

I know that

I’m learning it

 

And my first word was you.

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

Life speaks many languages. And I'm beginning to pick up one of them.

this was awesome.. it had this nice informal feeling to it that really was charming.

"So yeah
I had that feeling
I started feeling"

and she started feeling David Archuleta!!!!! The Spider!

anyway, yeah, the poem was very good and was able to address the subject directly without being completely dense about it. very nice..

[Taylor H]

I agree with Drew

[Brjden (Bridge-Den) Cre..]

Great write! I love your confident vulnerability. Though I disagree with how you characterize yourself, it does show how you don't take yourself too seriously, which is a good thing. Keep learning that language ma! I'm still practicing my diction as well.....
