Words that fall from separate lips
Words that at your heart string clips

Words that change as the summer skies
Words that fly from speaking eyes

Words that curl from fluent tongue
Words that mean nothing to all but one

Words that cry from a silent mouth
Words that are written always shout

Words that scream, said in anger,
Meant truthfully then, but regretted later.

Words in darkness steal fingers
A word spoken with meaning always lingers

Words like swords shall always sting
Words that sooth please the wisest king

Words that strike like a grinning viper
Words that entrance like the pied piper

Words that leave, never to fade
Spoken in light, written a shade

Spoken in present, written in past
Fallen just once, but always to last
