caty That is the problem with words, you know. They have their own minds, strong enough to encourage understanding where there is none. How foolish we are to remain constrained by our language... and yet - here we are. 981005

Rainer Krauss I wonder what is going on. Sometimes I come about words that aren't in my dictionary. And in noone else's dictionary. Then I feel as if I wanted to scream, but I had no mouth. As if I had eyes to watch, but no brain and no soul to understand. 990205

megan can mean so little and yet so much.
the simplest action can say so much more than a word, yet sometimes you need the words to explain because the action is not enough.

Christy meaningless labels
that define me
or you
trying to hold a human
a creature of beauty
pain
light
hope
fear
in a box of words
language ineffective
to confine a soul

I tried to describe you
painting a portrait
with those pointless terms
the quirk of your mouth
when you try not to smile
the individual wine
of your gentle kiss
the angle of your wrist
when you grasp my hand

I tried to explain color
to a blind woman
green, the prick of new grass
purple, lush velvet under tender palms
none of the words were big enough
or small enough
or beautiful enough

the whole dictionary
a collection of pale reproductions
faded copies of real life

just as the blind woman
tried to describe a touch
the words meant nothing
no term was minute enough
for her sensitive fingertips

like you say I love you
and my ears turn deaf
not from the words
but the tone of your voice
how it cracks
on the third syllable
then I see
the words are just a vehicle
pouring your soul over mine
hoping something will hold

so I make myself hear
tear open my mind
to drink in your voice
feel your almost smile
watch your vintage kiss
hear our hands meet

but how else is there to release this rage, express this sorrow, or transfer this joy to you.
you who can not see me
will not see me
for what i am.
you may not acknowlege the letters i've put together to illustrate the thudding in my heart. but i know you have ears, and you cannot deny the fact that you hear me.

STiCKS AND STONES ONLY BREAK BONES, WORDS CAN SHATTER THE SOUL.

klarchen People often complain that music is too ambiguous, that what they should think when they hear it is so unclear, whereas everyone understands words.

With me it is exactly the opposite, and not only with regard to an entire speech but also with individual words. Words seem to me to be so ambiguous, so vague, so easily misunderstood in comparison to genuine music, which fills the soul with a thousand things better than words.

Zoe last night you hit me agian. i can take it, don't worry about me. i don't want your concern or your apologies after giving me a black eye. what i do want is for you to tell me you are sorry about what you said to me. i can put some bandages on my eye, maybe a lottle make-up would help, but your words caused me to cry. why do you have to be so mean? why do you always have to tell me not to dress so slutty or not to look at any other guys? why can't you love me for who i am inside? 000718

Rhin Sometimes the words I write are so harsh, brassy, and sometimes downright crude. It really bothers me, that I let myself come off this way. I think my, without-a-doubt 'mouthy' point of views, comes from...well, just the living I have done. I think sometimes, that my anger, and my anxiety, over things I have no control over, just seem to metabolize, into my writing. No one I know would think of me this way. They may say at times, that I have a quick tongue, but for the most part, what they would say is...She's quiet - a thinker, someone to count on through the good times and bad, meticulous - to the point of annoyance, & quite the elusive one. My sexuality comes out through my writing in a way that I am not used to, and don't know how to deal with, especially when I return to a page, and read what I have wrote. Sometimes, I shock myself, to the point of thinking, 'Do I want to know her/me?' I don't think I do, sometimes... 001215

chanaka the most important thing anyone will ever learn. i love words. words fill my soul and stain my fingers black. every night i sleep wrapped in the embrace of words, because i love them, and they love me. sink into the power of words....wield them like lightsabers, for they are more powerful than anything else. i may correct your grammar, but i only do it because i know you are not using your full potential. how many more words can i learn today? 001215

rache Ive been writing all day. A long story for my friend josh, but really for myself. I can think of nothing but which plot to choose, which sentence, which words to put where.
They come from the air, plucked out from nowhere, brought to me by a flying dove.

A muse perhaps, inside my head.

As i re-read everything I write, I see so much of myself in it, it's scary. Then characters are all combinations of my friends. I simply can't stop till it's finished, everything is put aside...ooo...i just got a great idea, gotta go!

silentbob i found the most beautiful words i'd ever written
hiding just behind my eyelids
This dream's for you
i put them all together in a giant collage
of pontification and thought
never thinking twice about those that
look down on mediocre minds
this minute's for you
and i pinned all the words on a refridgerator
for all to see
whenever someone grabbed a slice of American cheese
they'd see my words
this silence is for you
and if that cheese whould make their stomach grow weary and sick with miscomprehension
or with comprehension of the fact that it was processed in a country that's main export is hatred, they'd associate
the words i wrote with that comprehension
this growl's for you
and then they'd blame me for their illness
and i'd laugh and say
Oh ye of little faith
dont you see that not all art is pretty
rain clouds and happy
