The more I write the more I understand about life and living and the use words are to those who use them from the heart...

Only Words

By Fee

 

I would never use my words

To castigate a friend or lover

No verbs, nouns and adjectives

Should be weapons under cover

I use them to express my love

Or dream a hot-blooded fantasy

May use them to stir politics

Or to praise the love of family

I shed my tears between the lines

For the ones who need the most

We share the lines of sentiments

Like Poe’s own exalted ghost

No a poet writes what inspires

The kisses or the clashing swords

Passion rules his mind and soul

After all they’re only words…

Our words are just that "ours" and although we pen them to share with the world, only "we" know what is real, what is fantasy and what is whatever it is we want them to be. I truly enjoyed this write and look forward to more of your "words" daily :-)

Much luv,

FEE,
Oh Yess Words can be more harmful & damaging than any phisical expression, and longer lasting than any violent act to another. I have had many broken bones-but words hurt more. Unfortunately...
My tounge is a sharp weapon when I have been verbally assualted or physically harmed even in a vengance type of fashion. I am very guilty to stand up to this sort of thing in a unhealthy fashion. Your write is beautful & yes you never do those things. Your a gentle & loving man.
But see I also have wit sharp as a whip ;) ok I am tryin to smooth down me feathers :)

Words are the best source of defense sometimes too. I tell people to be careful what they say as I'm an expert at "verbal judo". Words are a vast system of communication. It's what God gave us.
Very well expressed.
Blessings and love,
Susan

As Emerson said: "Words are finite organs of the infinite mind. They cannot cover the dimensions of what is in truth. They break, chop, and impoverish it."

Nice poem, Fee,
Healing energy to you tonight during my evening healing circle.

Only words? not those coming from your quill, those we tresure because they are coming from a place called sincerity.
