Words Spoken An Eileen-Rich Colaboration

Richard: 
Sometimes words speak louder than actions 
Is it possible that this could be true?
Spoken hastily, without compassion 
Have such words been spoken by you?

Eileen:
Such words have been spoken by me
making others dejected and blue
Words that have stole the sun from the skies
But they've never been spoken by you

Richard:
Words can also be very uplifting 
Even if those gifted are just a few 
Removing sadness, comforting hearts 
Have such words been spoken to you?

Eileen:
Yes, such words have been spoken to me
They’ve refreshed my soul like the dew
My heart takes to wing and it flies
Because of words spoken by you.

Together:
And so our dear friends come and hear
This message, you know it's quite true
Words spoken, can heal or can harm
What words will be spoken by you?


A Richard Lamoureux and Eileen Manassian Collaboration

Thanks for accepting my invitation Eileen, you speak beautiful words!

Thanks also to the many lovely people here who have been a wonderful inspiration to me since I have joined Poetry Soup. Your words are meaningful and lasting.

Hugs Richard Lamoureux December 27, 2015 at 7:27 PM Don't underestimate your own popularity. Also popularity ebs and flows and at the end of the day is very fleeting.

Paul Callus December 19, 2015 at 1:59 PM I love this short but meaningful collaboration, Richard & Eileen. Words are ever powerful....they can build or destroy, depending on how they're used. In Malta we say: It's better to say 1 word than a 100! ~~ Best wishes!:) // paul Richard Lamoureux December 20, 2015 at 7:37 AM Good advice!
