The Other Language

There are words that avoid the paper,
That hides from the pen,
That detest the ink,
That cannot be typed down,
That I cannot grasp

That is my heart,
That speaks without letters,
That still comes to life,
That articulates when let so,
With the language it invented,
With a vocabulary that is pumped through my blood.

GREAT POEM!! SO PUMP OUT SOME MORE BEAUTIES MY FRIEND! You got the gift, so use it more often. I am sure you can write more if you have the time, as talent such as yours usually has a very deep reserve! A7
