I Wish Sometimes I Knew No Words

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wish sometimes I knew no words

Then I could never hurt you…

Or why can’t I just be like

Christopher Robin to Pooh?

Saying things that give a lift

And are in this world so long overdue?

If you could only see inside my heart

That those words are this fool’s rue…

Perhaps you’d see the deeper words

All those never misconstrued…

I wish sometimes I knew no words…

Only showed each day howI love you…

 

Author's Note

I'm learning, but I still say stupid stuff and hurt people I care about... Wish I was more like Christopher Robin... "Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." - Christopher Robin to Pooh

There is something mysterious about this piece of writing... its essence is soft, sad, and warm; oh, how we always seem to speak words that weren't meant to be spoken! I know that feeling, and I believe it is beautifully woven in this piece. Bravo, my friend.

i'm the biggest babbler ever... when you transform to christopher robin...do tell me the way too...smile dearest Craig,those we love know the real us...and love forgives...

Can't even imagine you saying anything stupid in the slightest. I on the other hand...say stupid stuff all the time....then regret....so can relate to this. It's all very true but if we knew no words...then we wouldn't be talking on here now...so that simply wouldn't do, my dear friend.
Thanks for this sweet write.

Oh.. we all say and do stupid things.. especially the young at heart! Compulsive oration is my biggest fault.. horrible.. there is never a time I don't beat myself up inside or am left wondering for saying something that I didn't even think before I said it (I think alot do it to be honest.. there's more nice people out there I.. think than most see). I have learned to breathe and think.. though it can reoccur I have found under EXTREME pressure! I loved the feeling of what seemed an apology.. and I hope whomever this is written for understands the child in your ways (that's what I call it.. not meant offensively). Simple and honest flow.. nicely done.

Kind of funny for a writer to say "I wish sometimes I knew no words." But when it comes to your writing, you know plenty of words and put them together beautifully. Wonderful way of "warning" how harsh and damaging words can be if we're not careful or thoughtful. (Loved Pooh since I was a kid.)

[Geel]

Very clear and spoken from the heart...words feed our souls...many times for the better sometimes for the worse..but even in the worse there is something to be learned a moment of the heart heard...the insecurities that don't really meant for the one known as he or she...sometimes there said out of complusivity...but we breathe and begin again reflecting on those not so choices words a create a new image of words from what was learned yesterday...enjoyed this write

awe, i love this poem! great write as always! have a great weekend :)

[Marianne Miller]

Its has the possibility of being childish and insincere but its not, you have kept it straight and very touching, its rare a poem is beautiful and I think this one is. The simplicity and childhood imagery is restrained by the surrounding words that give it a stark message of love. Very well written if it was mine, I find a local competition for it.

I like the simplicity of this poem coupled with a child's cartoon. Yet, it bares your soul and reads deep. Very, very nicely done!

Short, sweet and incredibly beautiful - such a sensitive and heartfelt emotion brought to life in this poem. I love it.

oh yes... I wish I was like this sometimes too. I am guilty of saying things before I have thought about how it might come out. I am working on it. I think that is all anyone can do. We are human, we err and that is just a part of us. I am sure she will come around...who could not forgive you? :) We all need a Christopher Robin in our lives...
