Words Without Meaning

Words Without Meaning Some words are sweet and juicy like fruit Some are sour and cry rape Others take flight beyond stars We call them foreign as they burn out They etch the framework of mind and soul and being in fear Most letters form words on library shelves Begin to love themselves at first, at birth And hide in encyclopedias for centuries without meaning They make their homes in dictionaries in plain sight, in pain Waiting for their turn to be abused or even used Most words are sweet and juicy They speak the truth but sometimes they get lost Words without meaning are the worst Words without meaning try to come out One day they tried to steal my words of love And nearly broke my heart
