26 letters in the alphabet
to be combined
however they want
words and phrases linking together
like a heartbeat in rhythm or measure
 

flying like arrows in severity
caressing hugs of tender mercies
relieving limitation, true arts intention
with devotion of a souls expansion
 

feelings expressed, emotions handled
I love you was a rocket in space
I hate you was the crash back down
whoever said words don’t hurt
had never really read a poem
 

darling, I am so grateful for all the words
inspired, impressed, intelligent
you give me purpose and space to breath
to put out there all those feelings
 

to stretch and posture
strut or stumble
making you wince at times
you’d raise an eyebrow and scratch your head
wondering what the hell, would she be this time
