Words Go Only So Far

by Jeff "Shelley" Shelton - Aries - Not entered

The immortal genius of the heart
             reminds us
April is the name of our commitment
     as the thorn and the love 
    opens the pores of our skin
  to the fragrance of our poetry
in a night that should be left alone.

Words become revisioned patterns,
    the vibrations of air
     from puckered lips,
  unlike the motions of me
          under you
          beside you
           upon you
      upon the verge of
            in you.

Reason for writing:

    This poem came from the idea that words are only words.
Words express emotion from the mind, while motions take on
a new expression that becomes louder than words and more
powerful. When words lack meaning, then motion takes over.
