My words have been
held
within the confines
of my head; locked
behind tight iron lips;
bouncing
off the walls of my skull
in wondrous merriment
multiplying
and making new friends
amongst themselves.

Collating in an uprising
of sentences
- nouns and verbs
set aside their differences,
and become one
for one purpose.

They charge the iron gate
that is my clenched jaw,
as I fight the onslaught
of verbal warfare
coming from within.

They must not escape!!

One final push
and the gate flies
free
from it/'/s hinges,
as my words spring forth
in triumphant absurdity;
flying free
from the deep silence
that once tortured them
so tirelessly. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 130 [topic] => 43 [informant] => nightwolf [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

I often wondered how my thoughts were transferred to words and got to my mouth!
This would be fun for a childrens book to explain why we sometimes say things we don/'/t mean.
Very entertaining, and probably not so far off the mark as we prefer to think.

I think we all have that struggle
I shoot from the hip and often think after a conversation, maybe I should have kept my big trap shut. Great poem!
Had me thinking which sometimes is not a good thing :)

So very cool, man. I dig the concept of innerness, to coin a word. You had me on the roller coaster, that/'/s for dam sure.

Great write.

I loved it as though it was the thoughts of several billions of passerby/'/s who are here for only a short time on this Earth of ours.
Let the gates open up and let those voices be freed ---
and would that ever be possible for these transient
passerby/'/s
the fires blaze in California and the smoke is thick
for hundreds of miles affecting millions, and those are
only a few of the luckier ones...
What about the wild life, what about the wars, what
about tomorrow/'/s transient/'/s
I would love to be loved,
I would love to work while I am here
for something more powerful than myself
I would love to help, be on the right
side of something better than ---
letting some other folks finish my sentences
Just like you!

BTW - it should have been fun writing what you wrote
because I think you must of had to pause and think
clearly in your approach prior to writing it
down.

Thanks man!

Peace!

Open mouth, insert foot.
That was my take on this humorous piece. Reminded me of how many times words were spoken when silence was required. good job!
Thanks for sharing...
