Words



Words are words, just meant to be
Words are words, for you to feel and see
Words are words, never enough
Words are words, for people at them laugh
Words are words, for you to hear
Words are words, for you to fear
Words are words, that bring you joy
Words are words, that we all employ
Words are words, for you to use
Words are words, free for all to abuse
Words are words, to bring you tears
Words are words, a smile they can smear
Words are words, for you to believe
Words are words, you use to deceive
Words are words, to show you love
Words are words, that to all we shove
Words are words, that leave you tongue tied
Words are words, with which you have lied
Words are words, with which you sneer
Words are words, to some, very dear
Words are words, to fool your mind
Words are words, you follow them blind
Words are words, to make others trust
Words are words, that you let them rust
Words are words, for you to play
Words are words, we fall their prey
Words are words, we all like to hear
Words are words, never get to see them clear
Words are words, we lay all our hopes on
Words are words, with them we also drown
Words are words, for just you and me
Words are words, very precious to be
Words are words, don't lead me to see
Words are words, that you cannot make be
Words are words, to me mean a whole lot
Words are words, prove them with what you got
Words are words, a shoulder to me that you lend
Words are words, to them there's never an end

Mahesh Wadhwani

I always apologize for the length of my text as that’s the best way for me to communicate rather than verbally!! Not a man of many words but still manage to doodle when in mood to write, which is rare!! I am not even sure if what I scribble is poetry or even what form or just words that rhyme!! To me writing is an art, a sign of creativity and a means of expression. I don't really think that anyone can just write without any feelings, without having felt, without having lived, experienced or cherished. Whatever one writes, there is some amount of a persons own feelings and presence or of those around them, indicated in the works. So I am thankful to all the people in my life and those yet to come for having given me life, love, happiness and even pain. At-least I have had the opportunity to feel it , live it and express it, whatever it maybe. Cheers! more…
