"Words"

These are only words
But words are all I have
To show me to you
More difficult the task
Through literary means only
Bereft of emotion or intent
Inflection escapes this tiny screen
Leaving behind
Only words
That cannot hope to express
What fills my heart, or
How it ignites my passion, or
Who my soul hears when it's listening
Words are not able to convey
What's passed inside a touch
*Hugs* can't give you what real arms can
Kisses should tease the lips, not the eyes
There is no substitute for bodies connecting the souls...

These are only words
But words are all I have

beautiful, j. i especially like this line: Who my soul hears when it's listeningas much as i love words, that frustration is always there, too. eyes can convey in an instant what it takes me a paragraph to say. you've captured that perfectly here.

Hi J.

I am SO sorry - I didn't know about L. I don't know anything that goes on these days.

Please tell her that I'm glad she's doing better, and to GET WELL SOON.

Going to stick my head back into the sand now. :(
