Disappearing Acts ...I’ve looked... high, lo to, fro up, down in, out within, around yes no sight no sign I am resigned gone departed vanished did I mislay or did they stray did they become obsolete or just become incomplete because of the way I feel unreal surreal but not unfeeling no, never unfeeling, simply reeling and the emotion is unappealing not one for my book but look now they are gone was it because you took them from me stripped me of sense and dignity and gone is the equity of times spent now time of repent and in that you took my words give them back return them to me please and wipe away this unease give them back they were mine you did not want them and cast them aside until you saw that I would hide behind them and not even play peek a boo with you for those that were yours you cast about like glass shards and when you dealt the last card you cut to the quick now, there is no fix even super glue can’t put me back with you worse than a torn photo or broken glass when you can’t take a memory of the past without seeing the unraveling and frayed edge I’ve stepped off the ledge I’ll not stand there again all I ask in return are my words for I would lend them to one who cares one who shares my soul and since there is no one I will just go one alone but give me back my words in case some day they might be heard and let me do my disappearing act |

Karilea--yes, there are times I would like to write like you, but never would I take your words...they are like a thumb print..they tell me who you are, and judging by this poem...they are still yours. |

I think you should have your words back for sure! But I'd stay away from that Krazy Glue it's dangerous you might find yourself attached to a situation that makes you extremely unhappy.....but the words! oh yes the words dear Sunshine the world is a much better place with your words in it.....take care!! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

Words are our connection to others. If there is no understanding and we "waste" our words then that person should "give" them back. Let's not waste our words with uncaring individuals. Well expressed! A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

There are some words that need to be said and some that shouldn't aughta. Some words heal, some express how you feel, and some can cut real deep. Please grant me the wisdom to know which ones I should give and which ones I should keep. sometimes we don't always get a chance to take our words back though..... great read nona |
