Feeling

I'm a wordsmith 
Painting feelings with syllables and expressions
Vowels first and adjectives later
On the tip of my brush you will find no verbs
There is no action in these words I write
Technical pillars of this poetic religion
And I believe you know I do not mean them
But that doesn't mean I am lying 
For I paint feelings to put in the walls of my gallery
And there is no practical to a feeling 
For how else can you explain passion if not with words?
You cannot do happiness
Cannot visit love
It is the touch of feeling that makes the heart and the skin sing a melody that your lips do not know the lyrics to
It is a complex model
Only to be experienced on personal heights
Touch for touch 
Smile for smile
Tear for tear 
And like good cheese a good feeling is,
When you taste it,you just know.
