An ill timed fate from the poets hand unsure words enter new lands hurt unmeant in words unfelt Emotions misdirected to the rocks they helped They are the weapons The ill thought out words the hurt unawares from one who has shown words of great care a feeling we here share To hurt the other is to hurt the self All is the sword turned on the heart With not a thought for whats hurt in the thrust This is my burden the words that flowing i find them simple yet now they are hurting I will wish them away But the damage is done I am to all but words If these are my tools then these are my weapons they can hurt as well as heal my future is in my hands I am sorry to have hurt you |

Walter your words so true...sometimes the hurtful words can do so much damage, damage that maybe wasn't intended but was done just the same...well written Tracie~ Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |

You know, I hate to say it, since I do love words and poetry, but since a great writer said it first, here goes: "words are the source of misunderstanding..." ---Guy de Maupassant, The Little Prince hugs to you, Walter... |

your words are like diamonds ... like treasures of time-they will remain your poetry is your heart's reflection ... your words have never caused me pain. no damage done, no promises broken. the clouds have lifted ... understanding has been spoken. paint your poetry across the nights sky your words are your gift...fate entrusts us I see the beauty in your words ... tho mine could never do you justice. jm There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

Walter A reply Says Walter as nights close Says Walter as the day goes The words are that aren't spoken I will never let go unheard Such pride is there in me Of poets in the strings I would never let a single word In this place of passions go to waste Replies to me are the reason The right we all have to write my words reaching beyond here And into the hearts of you all I can find my way back through these messages you leave A light in the darkness I return to my words Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the roses falling 'Tis |
