words

words come in many guises,
they come as they are..or
they come under pretence..
words with strings,
words with suprises..
cutting words that bind..
words that you may find
in an appendix to
summarise and condense.
words that are cruel
pretending to be kind, 
We are cheated by
meaningless words
angry words we'd like
to dismember..
that stick in your mind
like honeyed hatchets
words that irritate
words that compensate
words that itch till you
want to scratch
it out in fits of laughter
the sweetest words
on babies breath, the
tearfull words that
we can't forget..
words that go unspoken
words to inspire,
words to disarm.
chest full of words
tough words to alarm
soft lovers words..to embrace
there are also words
made in haste that only
you can decipher..
and silent words
we keep prisoner
for whatever reason
we can't say for sure
words we can't swallow
words that are hollow
words that are...just words
without emotion just
bits of tissue between
commotion and silence,
the politics of debatement..
when there are no words
left to say..
it's too late to make
a statement..
speechless

Words can cut as deeply and with as much surgical precision as a surgeon's scalpel, Pauline.
Or, they can be a soothing salve to a hurting soul.
It all depends upon how our words are used.
It's been said, "the pen is mightier than the sword."
I wholeheartedly agree.
Nice writing...
