About This Poem

Paper Words


                                          Run your hands over my words…
                                           Don’t be shy you won’t disturb…
                                              Paper trails from me to you…
                                           No one sees what’s really true… 
                                     Stones unturned as thoughts pretend…
                                          My tattered lines still don’t bend…

    Enjoyed your description of the writer releasing thoughts to the reader - one could feel quite vulnerable at that point. But..."tattered lines...don't bend...no one sees what's really true..." I really like those lines. Thanks for sharing, John

    Thank you John.. just echoing the thoughts I feel other Poets have.... or at least hope they have...
