Words
Words
I wrap my heart around words,
My words, his words, our words,
some enter cold and callous,
others sooth with love lingering,
lilting words, words sharpened and pointed,
sensuous words, biting words,
they all enter into the cavern of my soul
to echo round and round;
some drop into the lake of forgotten
while others hover ever near
to taunt or teach or tantalize.
