Words Part V

Softly, oh yes, ever so softly,

when the words have failed me

I gather my eyes and pretend to see

What was only just a fleeting thought

What I have held to, as if caught

Can you smile ? as the words flow

Can we just maybe hold on

And break under each new blow

Or cry ? as our words seem to grow..

As if a life of their own

Love, fear unto us bestow

The words have taken hold of themselves

As the earthen snake

I feel as if they are tied around my selves

Unable to articulate further

They have abandoned my mind-shelves

They must be there, some where

The right words to explain

To the conductor of this dark train

That maybe I am lost

And have to find you, at any cost.

I would like that the words

be.. tied onto me with cords

ah yes.. imagine to say what

is unbeknownst to even I.

inside my soul, free to fly

I may be just crazy, like the misunderstood

Of ever cycle

Of every new light

But I don’t think so

But really, what do I know

So I close my eyes, happy or bitter

To pray for the words

To wait for the words
