words
the problem with words
is that there is
only a finite number
of order
and expression
is that however
hard you try
to say
what you mean
you can’t.
and sometimes
you have to
accept
that silence
says it better.

And so it came to pass
that everything that was
had never come to be
it's a dangerous living this... life...
Did you think that the demon would possess us?

Re: words
Words are a poor substitute for communication at the best of times. Sometimes a hug can say it all.

Re: words
Unfortunately, words are all we humans have to express ourselves,...and many times they're just not enough. Hugs are good,...holding hands,....wiping tears away, and laughing are our most common alternatives. They usually work just as well. Good poem.

Re: words
I loved this poem, Despicability. Absolutely loved it. In your very choice of sparsity, you have said so much. It made me smile, and it made me acknowledge that you are so right. :) Delightful read.

Re: words
It took me some time to figure out how to get to read some of YOUR poetry -- but I finally got Here -- so I am proud of myself! Your poem is exquisite. Words are inadequate to describe it! No -- you can't say. Have written some poems along that line myself. I know you must have more poems posted on these pages -- but it took enough strength and courage to beat my computer-ambivalence this one time -- that I dare not promise such expedition again in the relatively near future. The format of this website bewilders me. I appreciate its sophistication, but I ain't sophisticated --David

Re: words
Words can also, by their order, combination and inflection actually expedite an idea and spiral it into ramifications which the initial idea never had. They are a catalyst to thought which compels the idea forward often creating a constellation out of a figment in its wake. It all depends on how stimulating the incipient concept is and one's ability to create powerful and more complex variations out of it...much like in music.
