Words forming phrases
Just letters strung together
Meaningless to some

More to a poet
Than weaving words together
Are the thoughts therein

Each word slaved over
Drowned in tears, sweat encrusted,
Blood-stained evidence

Evidence of love
Sediment of life’s mem’ries
Dark secrets revealed

Words of a poet
Tools of passion, fear, and hurt
Just words, but MY words.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

you wend your words well
create worlds of thought, promise
giving hope to all

They are never "just words" my friend, they are a reflection of life in one way or another. The life we live or the life we strive for.

All writing comes
by the grace of God.

I'll second that AMEN

My library must have this, a heartfelt and true write! Words to people are merely words, but, words to poets are the beautiful breath of life~

Take care,
Melissa~

Words Aren't we glad to have them and a word may have many meanings and a poet may make up his own meaning. Bravo. Joyce
