Words.....

-




You never know…

How the words erupt

How the words effect



The sharp little words

The harsh nasty words

The words like arrows

 The words like bullets



They pierce through the heart

Break it into pieces



You never realize

How the words thrash the feel

How the words take away the sense



The creeping worm like words

The clinging glue like words

The cutting knife like words

The hitting hammer like words



They bore into the mind

Shatter all the thoughts



Never utter those words....

The words which can never be taken back

The words which can never be made straight

The words which build walls between the hearts

The words which twist the routes along the paths



Do you know the power of words?

They kill the person…when they are still alive

They tear the soul…which is full of shape



Don’t let your tongue loose

They say…think twice before you say

I say…never say when you are out of sway



Word has its own life…give it love and warmth

Nurture it… before you let it out of your mouth

You are right. One should definitely think before speaking because often the sting from the words can last a long, long time. I like all the detail you used in your poem!

(PT, hope you will make some visits to other poets today as well. We ALL enjoy having our poems commented on.....)

Liked it but the blogger template makes it difficult to post comments from tablets and smartphones. It was almost impossible to comment from my tablet. Next time I will visit when I am at my desktop. The poem was a good read though and on point with the theme.

Word has its own life…give it love and warmth - Great advice and such truth, this makes you think really about what we say.

So true. Someone will be thinking for days or months or years on a careless comment that came out of our mouths. We should never forget the power that words have

Yes words can hurt very deeply so we should be careful what we say. And sometimes words are misunderstood and meanings misconstrued.

WORDS! Powerful, aren't they? We choose to influence for the good or the bad with each word uttered.

Friends are like memories

Friends are like memories Some good… some bad Some sweet…   some mad True you can choose them But it’s they who decide…. to stay or leave Friendships are like cyclic process You meet …you mingle You treat…you part No one is permanent No one is life long They keep coming and going Some come for a season Some come with a reason Remember…they are like memories In fact …with time, friends become memories You evolve… Your thought evolve… Your memories evolve Bad may become good Good may be become bad…. Seasons do change…reasons may differ Remember… Friends are friends forever Friends remain in memories forever For Poets United Poetry Pantry #293

Mukesh is my favorite singer. And when I am young….specially during teenage days I use to madly listen to his songs. There is a kind of magic in his voice with inexplicable sadness…. That use to take me altogether to a different world. There are n numbers of Mukesh songs….which I know by heart and can sing along! But this one is like the ultimate…..Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din! Whenever I listen… there will be definitely tears in my eyes…. by the time the song is complete! The voice, the lyrics and the music….no match at all! And today I don’t know why? after long... long... time I just felt like listening to it! All those …who are sensitive at heart can listen and enjoy! Kyonki…. ”Baadhe saukyamane bhaavana raanevoy! AA yeruke nischalaanandamoy…Brahamaanandamoy”! Learn Telugu if you want to follow it!
