Words have a lot of uses,
really an amazing amount
descriptions and actions
…motives movement watch me
from here to there to tell you
everything I know to describe
…but…words sometimes
fail, fall on deaf ears, mean
nothing, mean different things
are just plain mean…and then
are useless…
A kiss that can’t be anything but goodbye
Looks that could kill
Eyes telling a story ears cannot hear
A palm stroking skin asking for love
We spend our lives inside
words inside meanings when
all of everything is around
us, silent and open, waiting
for our perception to get past
describing assigning labeling
and making nice little boxes
that it will fit inside…that
lines up exactly with what
we expect…
Words fall all around us we
see feel them every day all
the time we cannot escape
words, cannot live without
knowing having being our
words when…
in our heads souls hearts
under the thin of our skin
words don’t exist…
A kiss that can’t be anything but goodbye
Looks that could kill
Eyes telling a story ears cannot hear
A palm stroking skin asking for love
and
it is goodbye
it is death
it isn’t heard
and
it is love…
without words.
