Sweet Release

The words you need to hear
Are trapped behind my teeth
My tongue tightly holding on to
emotions that confuse and excite
and flame and ignite
Causing explosions in my nerves
that shake my foundation

I slip into your smile
choke on the words that fill my mouth
I hold back to hold on
And I ask you now
Is that so wrong?
Because when I sing
I sing your song
And it sounds so good to me

These feelings that could pull my tears
Send them raining down against my smile
We both know its been a while
So don't be scared
Because if you need that sweet release
I'd cut my tongue and break my teeth

Go on Honey rant & rave as much as you want.It helps release the pent up emotions I do the same when I sink into an abyss of despair I pick up my pen and pour my feelings out on the pad, aaah! you wont believe it brings such relief.Writing is a way of escape for storming emotions.When you speak at times it goes out the window not into someone's ears,but when you write people get to know your real feelings.It helps it really does my grandson is the same when fire courses in his veins he gets inside his room and starts writing, all his anger is depicted in his poems, then he comes out quite satisfied with himself.All the best to you. bouquet

Thanks Blizza,
I agree with you, a poem comes as a thought or something you see and you take it from there.
Poetry cannot be forced it is either there or it is not, then the mind and heart spill out the words.
I understood why the intensity of the last line was needed to emphasise the poems meaning, I always enjoy your work because it comes from your emotions which are always very strong. No emotions no good poetry is how I think.
Keep writing!!

I'm glad to know that others understand where Im coming from.
I really do appreciate that you all take the time to read my words. I know my poetry is not for everybody and If I posted them on some elite poetry site they would tear my work a part because of some form or rule I'm not following...but it feels good to know that you all actually take in what I write rather then blast me for not following traditional rules of poetry.
