Short Spell It Out Poems

Dark blue
Echoes 
Persistently 
Repeatedly and 
Encroach m
Sadly and 
Sordidly 
Inside the forbidden
Only to make me
Never what to return again

There is a saying being that- a single tear is worth a thousand words.
Now if only the water that has been dropped upon this page could just,
turn into letters, thus spelling out the reason behind them being shed....

There just aren't enough hours in the day 
   I always used to say
      Didn't you?
   It was never true

Should I spell it out for you?
   P - R - I - O - R - I - T - I - E - S
Got it now?
   Thought so

What?
   You say it's too late to do any good for you?
Not until the end
   My friend...

The sane file singularly, wait impatiently to enter
the sanctuary of sanatoriums.
Crazy has a mission, it rushes, it presses
with a pitiless paranoia,
it packs suitcases moves into unguarded minds.
For we cannot spell it out, dare not decry;
for the mad remain morbidly mean,
they are building places
to keep us far, far away
from what we could and now should say....

Valentines consist of pleasant thoughts
They speak straight from the heart
Of cupids, arrows and turtle doves
And sweet love words that shout

From those who stutter or stumble their words 
with affection that can't be said
Such words that turn the brave to mush
can make the face turn red

We thank the ones the write the verse
and paint the cards sublime
They spell it out, without a doubt 
 to say "I'm glad you're mine!"...

if I seem too quiet now
if I show you with actions
don't tell you with words
don't tell you why or how
I love you

I spell it out with tiles 
letters with points on a board
double word score
down and across
I love you

when love costs
the price too high
for the heart to bear
worth every last feeling
I love you

take it all 
give nothing back 
your light dim in my dark
bright it shines in other eyes
and still it rests here inside
I love you...
