words

funny that words should mean so much

Words ...

their placement 

significant,

cadence

divine, 

at times --

                         funny,

                             they should mean so much

to one

who has been

beaten,

tortured,

and raped

by fictions ...

                              time, 

                                  and again

she

rearranges letters

to suit

the occasion,

and hands them

over 

To the man

who is

short on words,

but fills her

with all the 

poetry 

she'll ever need.

This is poetry. When two become one, when two know the needs and wants of another. Words are not needed. Thank you Lyn for sharing the amazing poetry. I enjoyed this one.

each time the words gathered... she aspired more and more ...after a decade she began to call herself a writer!

[Lyn Anderson]

It was written then
Before she began
Her solace
Her comfort
Her pen ...

My mother once told me that words mean nothing but meanings sometimes have words to describe them. But, she warned, most words were inadequate to the task. So I learned honesty, integrity, patience, kindness, love and forgiveness are only words. But the meanings they represent go far beyond the brevity of nouns, adjectives and verbs. My love of poetry comes from my mother and my understanding that words are neither good nor bad but expressions of intentions, feelings or thoughts. She encouraged me to express beauty in my words but more importantly to subject my heart and spirit to beauty as often as I could. I enjoyed the read.

Your mother was wise, and you were wise to pay attention. Thanks!

"funny, and they should mean so much" this little refrain is a huge deal in this piece. Being able to express in words is a gift, but so it the ability to do it with a glance or an action well timed and well placed. Amazing writing...loved it.

"Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me"

Now maybe the BeeGees were onto something. Words can be used to sooth...seduce...or terrorize.
As we know the power of words can change everything, whether true or not, all that is needed to be deceived is to believe...words. As your poem demonstrates rather well.

A good write Lyn.
