Words As Seduction
It suddenly occurred to me
one can be seduced with words
even when not backed by action
eloquence with language is in fact, sexy
Words are a means of expression
such as dance or music conveys
words are an art form
to be caressed by the imagination
Characters on a page written
with promissory intention
yet withstood unfulfilled
are abuse of an art form
Technically a perversion of intention
when actions are not acted upon
most people call it lying
and the desire to read wilts
Thus I stopped
talking, writing, or singing
because the same people whom
fall in love with words do also
use them against you, harshly
