a nun she ate the fun she ate, My monstrous madness, possible realities, Talk in everlasting words And dedicate them all to me It's only words - and words are all I have, wild and wondrous words, word up
I read this some time ago and kept the link, knowing I’d want to re-blog it some day, and here is that day. A very fine poem it is too. The original, and many others by the gentleman in question can be found by clicking upon the title of the poem below.
Words Are Easy by Mr Peter J. Thomas
Words are easy,
Emotions,
They’re different,
The words fall into order,
Plucked from the brain,
Aligned and considered,
Ready for sharing,
Problem is,
People cannot see them,
I cannot enunciate,
Deliberating on thoughts,
Possibility,
Probability,
Consequences,
Cause, effect,
Affect,
Much maligned,
Tongue tied,
The intelligence lacks teaching,
What good is the answer,
If nobody asks the question,
The words wait, wary, weary,
Yet never spoken,
Ingested,
Infested,
Hornet’s nest of words,
Ready to sting,
Burn,
Bite,
Beware the angry intellectuals,
So the words are easy,
They’ll always be just for me,
My mind,
My mentality,
My monstrous madness.

This is deep, and insofar as I get it, I like it. Everyone’s head is a mess of words – the curse and price of our species’ capacity to juggle word-symbols. Only those who are not self-aware think themselves sane.

Pleased to hear it Hariod; a mess of words indeed, and often that which we feel is barely expressed vocally or with letters. I enjoy striving to mind you – smiles

I like this poem. It’s good crafting. But I’m of the mind that emotions are easy too. I have them all the time, whether or I want them or not. 🙂 What’s not easy is knowing the best way to express them. In which case the words are not so easy. Perhaps it’s best to just see them as two different language. A language of words, and a language of emotions, and what’s difficult is the translation. 🙂

Communication full stop can be chewy when ever passions and strength of emotion are involved, sometimes when not and you’re buying potatoes I imagine. laughs

Words may ‘come’ easy – may ‘flow’ easily – but if one is inclined toward using them (and yours truly can be quite verbose), I think one must consider that words hold great power. Even what we might consider everyday parlance in conversation is interpreted by others in their own unique fashion with their own set of life histories behind them. As one who has been utterly misconstrued from time to time with absolutely no intent, I have learned the importance of this ‘much maligned’ language of ours. Is a Chinese speaking person, for example, more attentive to language by the very nature of tones and inflections? I’d be curious to know, but not enough to make a study of it 😉 Cheers, Esme! Enjoy rolling around on your cloud all day!

Verbose! I love that word, it remind me of ‘V’s’ speech – Voil! – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQyqx1K495U – any excuse there as I love that speech and how it is delivered.
Interpretation, such a slippery devil, I know a few people who have had the same misfortune befall them as you have Bela,, it makes you so aware how much tone and intonation, the raising of an eyebrow, a smile, all these things add ‘oomph!’ to that whcih we say face to face, and these elements have to be made up for with language, hopefully we are sucessful in the matter, but if not, once things have been explained you’d hope those getting the wrong end of the stick would then understand the true intent. Thank you for those words Bela!

I absolutely love that film! Bravo! Thanks for reminding me of it 😉 And yes, there are, er, similarities, if I admit it … though I could have pulled off a speech such as this much easier at seventeen than I can now. I’ve spent years among country folk who do not utilize extensive language skills and no doubt at times have considered me quite cheeky (there’s that great Brit word that describes, like no other, the quality I’m after) for flexing my own. And so, my dear Esme, we go on, do we not, attempting to get our point across however we are able. Love that cape, which leads one to attempting capers, no doubt, of which you, yourself might be all too capable … ❤

You too eh? V slays me, he takes words and wraps you in them, close, or so tightly you’ll scream. What a masked man he is. My favourite fictional character having knocked Dangermouse off the top spot.
You are cheeky Bela! And therefore fit in perfectly well in this Cloudy sanctuary as I can’t move for cheeky sods. And I have no doubt you could weave such a speech yourself be you seventeen or seventy eight, we lose marbles along the way, but the talent remains, it just takes rather more hours for the product to appear.
We do go on, and on, and on, and that’s half the fun of it.
