power

the power of words hit
so suddenly, you are blindsided
sequence, tone, definition
annotation, whispers, shouts
speech in circles, voices raised
shutting down, deepened wounds
split wide open
fears of now, then, and
maybe when lead to giving up,
giving in, sad departures leaves
lonely fools, unable to escape
the pain that rules

i have been reading your blog for a few months now.
i enjoy it very much
in a way, you influence the way i write:
to express my innermost without being overtly direct
and spoil the fun of readers thinking and digesting the contents.
Thank you.
