More Than Just Words

Inspired by @pthasse 'Sticks and Stones'

Words can
capture a heart.
Be deceitful
from the start.
Words can
empower you.
Rip apart and
devour you.
Words can
Help you cope.
Destroy any
trace of hope.
Words keep
someone near.
Make things
become unclear.
Words can
tease and excite.
Snub out a
lovers light.
Words can
soothe and calm.
Torment and
cause harm.
Words can
be plenty.
But they can
also be empty.
But there is
one word.
That could unite the
the whole world.
. COMPASSION

Actions Speak Louder

You whisper in my ear As you hold me so near The rain coming down And it's you wearing the crown The king of humour Of gentleness and wit They all call you a "git" But they don't know you Just see...

Bitch

B ehind your back they'll talk, I s anyone safe anymore. T o me it grates like chalk, C hatting shit, its just a bore. H ow would it feel, I wonder.

'Secrets'.

There once were things called 'secrets', And everyone had their own, That little bit of them was dark, And in its right: alone.

A Love Forbidden

The love that's unfolded, The love that we share, makes me wonder does god even care. Although I'm in sin, too deep to live, my heart sinks like water from a sieve.

Perfection

I know this makes me a hypocrite, But I really am fed up of it. I'd like to complain about the complaints, That, this lovely app, do taint. I want to hear a poem of love, An animal tale about a dove.

Revolutions have all been fought out of hate or fear, maybe an uniting one has to be the opposite of the spectrum
