I Write The Words That Come

I write the words that come 
I see them in their entirety 
some are in colour
others grey 
altogether they make 
the words I write 
I say. 

Tomorrow
they’ll be different 
they’ll say something I never thought of
not til that instant
when they came and I wrote
wrote what they told me 
to say.

No One’s Listening

No one’s listening
To my heart beat
Nor saying
Any encouraging ways.

When I speak
The echo goes far, far away
Even I can’t hear
It come back my way.

No one’s listening
To anything, anything
I speak or say.

Did I Tell You Everything?

Did I tell you
Everything?

Did I say
Everything?

My heart knows no bounds
That it’ll go to give you
Everything.

I’ll cherish our relationship
Knowing it means
Everything.
