Give me your words
Let me caress them
With my two pure hands
Dust them off
Polish them up
I will display them
Under lock and key
Send them to myself
Find they've multiplied
Read those words over
Press them to my heart
Treasure them
Forever.

now, i've read some of your things now, and i wanted to tell you that i think are very good at painting pictures in my head, and find new ways to say things in. pluss, they are so beautiful! there's no other word for it.
good job, there. -
You did an excellent job of taking an intangible object such as words and turning it into something touchable, and then englufing it with the sense of touch. Awesome.
...i'd like my words back now please -
Beautiful
Very pretty poem. The power and beauty of words is indescribable, but you've come quite close here. Certainly a joy to read. I'm sad that I haven't read your work up till now! I have been missing so much. Please keep writing. -
Very Nice
Marina-
I think this poem can be interperted in many ways. Because I've just gotten off the phone with my husband, I believe that I find a deeper meaning on the understanding behind words that we use daily. It's like, how crude people can be, but how beautiful what they're trying to say really is.
Kinda like Russian, as Yuliy would say. An incredibly rough language, but some of the most beautiful Russian Holocaust memoirs are poetry- beautiful, beautiful poetry.
Tangent. Specific vagueness, I think... You know, what I mean? This was lovely.
