"So go on and write a poem for me / Say things you could never say to my face"
Two Hearts Will Understand
For all the wrong words which wound and lay waste A poem is an act of redemption For all the things said heedlessly in haste A chance to say it right an exemption An opportunity to speak to light Cosmos out of the chaos of the night
Wherein we say in our most perfect way Considered reconsidered thought about That which we wish we had said yesterday And though a little late the truth comes out Clarified rarified into our best Hoping that others will forget the rest All the imperfections of life and speech
Since we never know the right thing to say Till after the moment after the test A poem is a letter in which each Word has been chosen with the utmost care We can only hope someone will be there To read the words we meant in the first place
So go on and write a poem for me Say things you could never say to my face Two hearts will understand ...and destiny
I agree, Stevie. Poetry is a medium through which we can "say" things that might otherwise remain unsaid; it provides a means of reaching others. Thank you for sharing this offering. Love and peace to you,
This tells it like it is for sure, poetry allows us to express oursleves from within our hearts and minds without the moral restriction of a verbal society. Real love understands the words even when hidden between the lines of the most obscure poetry.
