Speechless

sometimes words fall short

as feelings grow tall

and you’re left feeling

unable to speak

sometimes the thoughts

that rumble and ramble within

are incapable of

joining the english language

sometimes when I look at you

from the corner of my eye

there’s a thud in my chest

and it echoes through my toes

sometimes there are no words

to define the indefinable

express the inexpressible

describe the indescribable

sometimes three short words

eight tiny letters

are enough

when coupled by you

Quite Clear

your words might not
come out quite clear
but the meaning
is always there

with your heart
you learn to speak
through the arts
you can

the music
the notes
they blend together

reactions form
emotions create
feelings brought to others
without the use of words

and there is never
any doubt
about what you mean
to say

Loss For Words

Words can't express
how much it means to me
and how badly I wish for it


Your arms wrapped around me
not letting go
no matter what tried got between
us


Your warmth
instantly warming me from my
heart
to my fingertips


It's all I want
and I'd give anything to have it
right now


I just want
you.

Love Cannot Compare

The melody rolls from my finger tips


The harmony ripples from my lips
          to the butterflies in my stomach
          to the chills down my spine
          to the waves of sound across my tongue
          to the passion in the clench of my fist


Four parts for three words
because music
speaks the words
that
love cannot.         

Words Hurt Too

I can't trust
Because of you
Because of how you left things
Because of how you broke them
-- the promises?
The ones you made
And said you'd never break.

You broke me.
And crushed me with your words.
Because you didn't care enough
To do it with your bare hands.
