Unfolding

The voice in me unfolding
in the midnight air

I have much to say in silence

But people think I have a way with words
when really "Words" have a way with me

Author's Note

Poetry is a gift and a curse cause when it takes hold it pulls you so deep in the zone the only things that matter are breathing and writing

Well, I think it works both ways. because I think you do have a way with words--for sure. And if they have a way with you, and that's what makes it work, that great.

Words gravitate experiences from within so all readers and admirers can partake in a created scene of self expression. Nice poetic stage presence here. Great job. :)

I completely understand what you are saying in this poem, well written. Keep up the good work

"when really 'words' have a way with me"

I entirely relate. Not often does the author find words; words find the author. nice piece here, signifying the magic of words.

Yes, how the river of words flows through us... sometimes wild and sometimes in drought... but we are moved along by the waters and waves. You speak to us, dear poet... even in that silence.

Take practice to be a verbal Poet. I did poetry reading for 10 years in the nineties. Still get a little nervous. Good to allow words to flow into mind and paper. Thank you for the excellent poetry.
