Invisible Words

Sometimes speaking words makes you feel invisible.

 

Invisible Words

 

I'm not sure what to do with these left over words

I was going to permanently entwine into your conscious fabric

Along with the others that had been laid with sincere adoration

That was creating the foundation for your heart.

 

I was going to build you a citadel out of them

That would have stood atop infinity's grounds

But I was building around an unsecured wall

That had already been constructed

with wishful bricks of yesteryear. 

 

Your heart is covered in another's unattached words

That my words attach to and fall off

Leaving scattered loud words of guarantees

Under words whispered in maybes.

 

I guess I'll save these words for a rainy day

When someone's heart is ready to be constructed

With reciprocal words of love & affection

So it may shine with the life it deserves.

Too often powerful words are often overlooked and or underplayed by those we care/love. This poem possessed a profound simplicity, I especially like
" Your heart is covered in another's unattached words
That my words attach to and fall off", and "I was going to build you a citadel out of them
That would have stood atop infinity's grounds", beautiful.

Thank you so much, Frontier :)

ohhhhhhh man. I love this. So many different parts that could be touched and explored in life. I definitely feel it is up to the "rainy day" that I wait for. Hoping to implore another to come across the words to discover a way to my world. Maybe even make it a world of our own. ... Hmmm... Ideas are flowing! Thanks for sharing!

Your heart is covered
in another's unattached words
That my words attach to and fall off
Leaving scattered loud words of
guarantees
Under words whispered in maybes.

an intruguing and strong piece

It is true. Sometimes a persons heart is filled with the bad words leftover from others and you feel like waiting a while until they can actually hear you. Lovely expression!

[Chris Micha]

Thank you so much, Honey :)

Christian, as always, a pleasure.

I have to read this a few more times. Let it sink in.

Right now, I'm not sure of the meaning behind it.

If there's any..

Well, this is good. I always enjoy your pieces.

Good job.

It's good but "yesteryear"? I've never really heard of that so it just seems odd. Fox-

[Chris Micha]

Thank you! Yesteryear - last year or the recent past, especially as nostalgically recalled.

[FireFox9]

Thanks. Fox-

Words to use as an umbrella to protect one from harm. Great poem today. I enjoyed this.
