The Effects Of Words

Trying on some different words tonight
Searching for some forgotten intangible
Combinations grow crucial in this fight
A stiff uppercut snaps a glass mandible

Showing off with big words gets boring
It often comes off shallow and pedantic
There are a lot of rules I end up ignoring
File all my work under hopeless romantic

Sometimes I’m quite fond of juicy words
Sexy, seductive, always along for the ride
Lustful breadcrumbs attracts all the birds
Rocking back and forth with a gentle tide

Enlightened words can bring love and hope
Inspiring poets to chronicle about humanity
Holding the real world under a microscope
Sometimes leaves me questioning my sanity

Author's Note
Late night musing. Sometimes I just like playing with words, how about you? What's the worse that could happen? Appreciate you.

- Damian DeadLove

" Does it seem cold in here to you?
What's there to do tonight, anything?
Give me another cigarette
Is there anything left in that bottle?
Yeah-Give it here"

- David Lee Roth
