Words on the page

Sometimes that is all we have

 

 

 

 

Words on the page

 

A face and a hand in a grand illustration

Still in the corner I hide

Formed of this feel and its lengthened frustration

Longing to come but inside

 

This mountain I climb like a weight ever growing

Changing my whole point of view

And in a dream it is who I am knowing

Given the old and the new

 

Taking that drink from the fountain of memories

Spilling the moments so sad

Stains on the carpet in lines patterned easily

Thoughts that are driving me mad

 

Reaching a bit, to evade their detection

What would the words seem to say

Scared and amiss and in fear of rejection

Cast but the hours away

 

A shrug of my shoulders, the look on my face

All as an act and a screen

For I having fallen this long sentence trace

Words on the page they do scream

 

Taking a sip of the future’s endeavors

Quenching the thirst of my heart

For in this fountain now swimming together

Nothing will keep us apart

Those words on the page often keep me from hurting another's feelings as I can write what I think, expression of the emotions, and keep the harshness to thine own self.

Very nicely written...

[Jack...]

Thanks Constance and nice to see you again. How did the move go?

A wonderful case of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.....it has been interesting to say the least. But, good things come to those who wait!

this part was particularly resonant to me as I often write to get it out of my head. With varying results.
Love the lift at the end - looking toward the future. There is a lesson there. Well done

I could read so many different scenarios into this one, an intriguing write...I've twisted it to suit my own needs, and it rings true! Clever and creative Jack, as always.
