How Can I Speak


Like fine silk slipping through cool hands The words flow from my fingers onto paper The ink drawling across a sheet of white Like a skater on ice Thoughts and emotions Heart-felts and heart-breaks Laughter and tears Pour out easily upon lined paper My mind isn’t made of cells It’s made of paper and ink My way of communication To be heard For words from my lips stall and get lost For how can I speak When I’m already seeing words turn into a melody That dances into its form on a page To me, poetry is my host My life My communication My world
