Not One Word
Silence
The sweet rhapsody of quietness
Sit back and savor
the music of the void,
where no dissonant voices are heard
It's so relaxing in this soundless realm;
break not the peace, speak not one word
Stay muted,
let all unspoken thoughts flow within
a serene state of mind, cascading down
into a calm stream...

A single word
dances at the end
of my fingertips,
I scratch paper
into confetti.
The first stanza
dares me to
give it autarky,
declare its truth
all its faults
in every sentence.

One Word Is Worth a Thousand PicturesOne word is worth a thousand pictures
Wait a minute, don't think I've got that right
BUT HEY! That works too if that one word is LOVE
It conjures up all sorts of heart warming scenarios
Love between parents and their children

One WordAhhhh! My heart!
She said one word,
And it shattered my soul,
Once so strong,
My diamonds are coal!
Ridicule, disdain, and disgust
Are all her testy mind can must!
I am stupid,
Indignantly so!
How ever with such insults
Shall I properly grow?
My heart! The pain!
The sting of one word!
Tis an ache...

Tightly - yet with care. Caring - yet with passion. Smiles her heart. Trembles her dreams. Hides them silverine in moments indescribable. Night...

Just One Word Can Destroy a Man
He knew what to do when you were sad,
He knew what to do when you were mad,
He knew what to do when you lost everything you had,
He stayed everyday to dawn fixing those pieces of yourself that fell,
He stayed waiting patiently giving his soul to...
