All the Best Words
When all his best words were taken
Teased apart, twisted and broken
He knew then, there was nowhere to hide
…
When all his best words had been written
Examined, considered, copied and forsaken
He knew there would be no more light
…
When all his best words were spoken
Sung, whispered, screamed and then shouted
He knew then, he must learn how to fight
…
When all his best words were stolen
Torn apart, twisted, bled dry and finally crushed
He knew that the end was in sight

Cheers Andy ... am glad I got it off me chest sir .... Neville
Words are invaluable compared to fighting but can bring their own troubles when misheard or interpreted - love your lively bisecting in this fine example of word-skill dear Nev..........x
Hello my dear Fay .. thanks for being in my corner my friend n truly .. x
Sounds like someone about to hear me sing! heehee. 'The end was in sight'!
You met more gals lately? Should I meet them too?!
I have as a matter of fact, but you can have the lot if ya promise to keep your lips sealed ..
Plagiarism and aggressive misinterpretation rampant, Neville?
Time to abandon ship…..
I feel very strongly about plagiarism .. some seem to make a career out of it ... and if necessary, I shall go down with the ship ... but thanks for throwing me a line 🙂
reads like a prophetic epitaph, for me?
or am I deluded in thinking, one will be written
for a subtle blinked existence, like me...
still, kinda scary how uncanny
our connection reveals itself to be, my friend
how thankful I am, of that good fortune
that introduced me, to your sublime Poetry!
you are certainly not deluded L.B ... and I am most grateful to the good fortune you refer to too my fine literary Friend ...
When words are all one has to give, such a shame that there are those who would steal, misrepresent and take credit for of work that they don't own. Excellently penned N. ; )
