Lost in Translation

Do words

lose their meaning

between paper and pen

do you hear

words unspoken

read them again


Do they

ebb and flow

nectar for the soul

do you listen

with your heart

feel them console


Do they

touch you in places

never reached before

do you sense

their true meaning

deep in your core


Do they

sail you on tides

of passion and bliss

do you discern

each nuance

in whispered kiss


Do they

adequately express

thoughts and sensation

or do you

just find yourself
