I Need My Words

Need to see words hand written,Need words typed in neat clean lettersWords born disappear like a sunrise mist Gone by midmorning Daily a fight ensues to restore my words to memoryWords stain my brain like berries stain my fingertipsFaces and names get easier than specific word recallLose track of adjectives, verbs, and adverbsNouns and verbs stream by my consciousness steamed by battle Articles circumvent examination, addledWords flee from my lips Escaping interjections and prepositionsFrustration when words get away,Write words down, use pen and microsoft
Pray to revive lost words, absorption in proper punctuation, grammar, Avariciously use pen, paper, and computerDevelop vocabulary, learn pronunciationRavenously, like a wolf, write words, devour words, Believe words, hoard words are me, Words deliver, create lust; rousts self-criticism, spreads similar views,Words are abused and used Words create desires; produce peace and love, Words are seeds; words flower they flourish,Grow out of control
Write words carefully, choose words  Ardently respect word power Words race around my mind
surround me like vagabonds searching warmth and nourishmentContemplate obscure, little known meanings Scrutinize each word’s effectEach word opens spaces, new placesEach word provides sensitivity to pain and pleasure, Stretches mental capacityWords read and said exist, disappear like wind at sunsetWords written, never read, disintegrate like carapace
Write words, fear I’ll lose them if I don’t write and say them Read written words aloud, hear their soundsWord clouds form above my head like Lil’ Abner Greedily read words, lap words up from books and cyberspaceOver passing seasons
Words capture a moment in eternity
