The power of those words
Etched on paper,
Ink filled worlds
That sail
Across the page
And into
Our mouths.

Each letter
A different reason
A different passion
With each page set
To become entangled
With its verbs splurged
With adjectives that
Stream the lines
Of ever-ending twists
And turns.

The pages turn,
The lanes of words
Become thinner
As the shades of black
Return white beads
Of hope to those
That read with
Paint-filled eyes.

These words,
Tucked into
Our pocket seams
Cascading off
The winds woven
Blanket of pasted
Black ink.

very concrete
I just wanted 2 question the last verse in the 1st stanza that reads "And into our mouths"

Also, it seems dark, almost pessimistic...what was your thinking behind the poem?

a very cool poem. words, in ink, in sound, or on screen, are all someone's mind voice. When the mind fires, words will screaming.

love to read your the logical kind of poem.
