When my soul shifts its weight
Chips fall out
And mistaken words with misplaced meanings
Find themselves naked
In front of your roving eyes
Or maybe I misunderstand your understanding
As I stand under the drizzle
Or a tsunami of your questions
"Your burden of proof is ready to be served."
You wrung my words too hard
And now they bleed
Into the empty bedside
And a naughty striptease
Yes, I'd have extra cheese with that, please
A thought-criminal too, needs to eat
To craft words and meanings
And words without meanings
Countless hours worth of nostalgic screening
And as the director, I yell "CUT!'
so many thoughts to ponder..................
ReplyDeletePoems are a prop for pondering, aren't they? :)
DeleteThank you for reading.
Oh I have been there.. I have been there... how do you really make that CUT.. so we can laugh at the misunderstandings instead... this really touched close to my heart.
ReplyDeleteIt's tough to make that cut. It's tougher to laugh away the misunderstandings. We communicate with others and ourselves in strange ways.
DeleteI'm glad to know you were able to relate to this. Thank you for stopping by. :)
'to craft words and meanings and words without meaning'.... such a beautiful line there

DeleteAh, the crafting of words always takes time. And it isn't easy to cut them either.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The author in all of us clings to those words, like a protective parent.
DeleteThanks for stopping by. :)
This is a primal scream. A thought crime without a willing perpetratorr! Very well expressed for all of us who have ever been there. CUT!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words. I'm glad that you liked it. :)
DeleteLove the ponderings....and also the humor in "I'll have extra cheese with that, please." LOL.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't life be boring without some humour?
