A Word Poem

A Word Poem by Intoxcy8me

When words are not enough,
then I'll have to think of more stuff.
I will invent new phrases,
even the ocean has its waves.

My love for you grows each day,
while I sing the most solemn praise.
Nothing can separate you and I,
no matter if I write enough to fill the sky.

Whose words is that? I think I know.
Its owner is quite happy though.
Full of joy like a vivid rainbow,
I watch her laugh. I cry hello.

She gives my words a shake,
And laughs until her bellyaches.
The only other sound's the break,
Of distant waves and birds awake.

The words are not, enough and deep,
But she has promises to keep,
After cake and lots of sleep.
Sweet dreams come to her cheap.

She rises from her gentle bed,
With thoughts of kittens in her head,
She eats her jam with lots of bread.
Ready for the day ahead.

On that day my soul grew lyric
Once I sat engaged and saying
Much I marveled the silent row
Deep into that darkness glancing

I heard a lonely, smelly phrasing
Words - tormentor of my dreams
In a kingdom full of pearls
I awoke and flung the verb

Words - tormentor of my dreams
The splendid speech sentencing
Quoth the phrase, 'Mind that gleams!'
Back into my memories chatting

It threw its ghost against the notes
Of the tone's that is combatting
Still is scatting, still is scatting
How they were catting, patting - slatting

Gawking and gawking with my passage
And so I screamed, 'Is that a displacement?'
I am shorn of my casement
dumb-stricken with amazement

Ah, distinctly I was mistaken
My reflection, I could not awaken
I felt compelled to end the journey
Keep me, say you won't return me


The appellate alcove acquiring
Could there be more purely inquiring?
With such a passion for inspiring
The pleadings came requiring

The passing prosecutor pointing
In hopes, I didn't leave them disappointed
