The Taste of Nothing

As the words flow across my mouth
without sound they sit on the tip of my tongue
Unsaid the beautiful and out with the ugly
My words overflowing
out like nothing 
filling my mouth as it pours insanities 
splashing as it hits inside 
wripilling every part of you.
Slandering's of beautiful lies
As a bed of roses every word crowned with a thorn
piercing every piece of  peace.
Casting stones with nothing
invisible,tasteless, toxic
endless ramblings of nothing
inhaling wasting the exhale
beating the inner me like a drum
I hear thunder in your words but
it still means nothing.
I savour the moment of silence 
I've tasted nothing 
but the sorrow on your lips 
Your words became less of a fruit
rotten to core
once heaven rested on your lips
and now there is nothing to taste anymore

Angelica,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
