Simple little things, words
yet so effective
when strung together in poems
breathing romance
fading loneliness
and all between the lines
with pastel strokes
joined together
in just the right way.
a writer’s thoughts
whether fact or fiction
become another’s hopes.
words find their way
to a reader’s heart
as surely as petals
dropped in a forest
mark the trail back home.
I love you’s bloom
only to fade
by truths revealed
in even more words.
can we fall in love
through poetry?
I believe so
and all through the naivete
of words.
This is so beautiful and yes, agree, that words can be effective in many regards...even powerful. I love how you've strung them together here, yourself. Blessings. Sheila
I know that I have 'fallen in love' through the words of many different poets - - whether with the poet or with the person reading the words to me, I am not sure! But beauty, depth of emotion, tenderness, longing, and love deep and true have been seen in words, and I wouldn't trade them for the whole world! Wonderful thoughts here!

I would like to translate this poem
I love the cadence of a good poem, with words weighted and thoughts measured by the heaping. -chuck
