Words and questions

sorenbarrett

There are words that should never be said

There are questions that never should be asked

They leave echos long after you're dead

Who's answers canker, your soul to blast

Tears shed

Teeth gnashed

In visions that have blead

Reverberations of the past

Dreams that have fled

Hopes that are dashed

    So very true soren, once those words leave our mouths they cannot be retrieved.

      Thank you Andy and at times they are held in peoples hearts for years before they are unearthed. Thanks for the review and comment Gold.

      Although I think you are over egging it slightly Soren, I do believe it incumbent upon the producer of your words to consider the damage these words might do (especially me!)

        Ouch!!! Just as I thought, now I have been damaged for life. I won't be able to get these echos out of my head and my pillow will be tear stained. Oh sorry I guess I'm over doing it agian. Thanks Dave I'll try to keep things under control.

            I don't think you get this - I saw it as a gentle reproof aimed in my direction.

            • sorenbarrett

              Now I understand why it was gentle

              so true, dear Poet
              (stones may break n bruise..
              but words, can disintegrate
              heart's
              we, suffocate those we've
              poisoned
              for life, with our crude n cruel
              comments
              act like, it's alright cos it was said
              in jest...)

                Thank you L.B. for your welcome comments. As for me L.B. feel free to criticize as you deem best because I am hear to learn and my skin is not that thin. I respect your comments and welcome any suggestions.

                  oh i'm sorry my friend I wasn't criticising anything
                  just got carried away like usual and tried to scribble
                  a feeble poetic reply
