Pieces of the soul

Scrawled and jotted down samples

Glimpses of the whole

Words tango on page

Pen salsas to the music

Dancing ideas

meaning is hostage

to the readers emotion

chose your words with care

Can't fit together

puzzle pieces in my mind;

just making Mad Libs.

The power in words,

moves me like no other can.

Like wind, I'm the sand.

The strongest feelings

Meaningless in just our throats

Stir life with a pen.

Written on your face

Are the words you never said

But always believed

I’ve looked for the words

And visualized meaning,

Only to go blank.

Many talk the talk

as a shallow escape from

taking on the walk

Fluttery Spirits,

Released from the cage - our mind -

Never to return.
