standing on a shadow's lace

Words

words could never
match my feelings
for they do not express
the true emotions
even spoken
inflection could not
come close
how do you describe
heart beat
or breath
or loss of it
try as I do to write it
with a pen where
the ink disappears
trailing
to
another
place
in
definition of flow
and my own
inability to understand
how a heart
can know fire
but not be
compromised

Words are the breath, sometimes . . .

you mustn't stop writing them

It's a beautiful pain, long-suffering, and very worth some form of expression. If we can't paint it, carve it out, or sing about it, we can write, just as you did.
