 Words mean nothing until you add the heart Like the sun without the sky to place it Dreams without hope for it to start or a candle without darkness to be lit Words without heart are hollow Like love with no where for it to grow Treasures to find with no map to follow or a sunset with no horizon for it to glow Words woven without a thread of heart pale Like the finest lace laying tattered and torn Letters confessing your love lost in the mail A baby in your dreams that will never be born Words void of heart cannot fill a soul Like tender kisses without a cheek to land Empty arms with no embrace to make it whole Walks by the ocean without the warm sand So before you weave the words you want to say Find the most important thread before you start You’re words will mean so much more that way For words are empty without your heart [This message has been edited by Butterflies_dont_cry (edited 11-09-2000).] |

Much wisdom and truth you have woven into your words here. Words are never empty when they flow straight from the heart, take care my friend. "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

BDC~ this is so pretty.....I agree, if you don't speak or write from the heart, I just don't see how they could hold any true meaning.  -SEA |

BDC...this is wonderful...very lovely...and spoken from the heart... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

ButterfliesDC~ Beautiful words of wisdom. From the heart ~ It's just what we poets do ~ Is there any other way to weave ? Nah ! It's the only way to go ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Words void of heart cannot fill a soul Like tender kisses without a cheek to land Empty arms with no embrace to make it whole Walks by the ocean without the warm sand So before you weave the words you want to say Find the most important thread before you start You’re words will mean so much more that way For words are empty without your heart ================ your words are wisdom kissed me sweet SS.. and I love the way you worked these metaphors... (must mean your a poet huh)  so very true is this poems moral and intent .. one of the many gifts of poetry is that we can speak our hearts with our pens. way cool poem girlie-girl.. (definatly NOT a Loreal moment) LOL  hehe*kisskiss* me |

May I simply leave this old one for you and leave it at that? I think you know what the new words would be anyway my friend, do you not? Do I ? Do I need to say the words... when you can feel it in my heart The longing in the breaths I take... every second we are apart Do I need to write the words... when I pick out a card just for you As tears of joy stream down my face As each day I know that overnight it grew Do I need to carve it in stone... for all the world to rejoice in this With heartfelt dreams and memories Carrying the photographs of our bliss Do I need to surround you... in rose petal baths and walks at night Holding you in my arms as we kiss the stars and gaze upon the splendor of heaven's light Do I need to put it down in rhyme... so you will know the strength of it all Knowing all along that you need not speak for me to feel when you are forced behind a wall Do I need those three little words... for you to know...do they mean that much Or are you happy sharing all the sensations when our hearts are joined with the slightest touch No I think not... as you show me each and every day That this bond we have connecting us continues to grow and strengthen in every way Mark Bohannan |

Holly- this is so beautiful and so full of truth and wisdom. if it's not from the heart, it means nothing...empty words. wonderfully expressed, my friend. hugs to you, -vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes |

BDC, This was awesome work my friend!! So true . . . each and every word. Speak what is in your heart and you speak the absolute truth with all that you are. Loved this. Hope all is well with you. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
