Words

Words are words
What does it mean?
So many words to choose from
Sometimes they weigh very heavy indeed

What words for love?
What words for pain?
Words caress our souls when feelings drain

Our minds hold the secret to a greater key
To an understanding that we can see
So many words you can see in me 
My eyes tell stories that words would fail to glean

Words are beautiful
Words are dark
Words of war
Words of art
Words that sing so many tunes
What words have I to give to you?

Love. Love. Love.
