Feelings and words

Trying to squeeze

Feelings into words

Is no act of justice at all

It distorts… it disfigures

It belittles… it demeans

It’s a great offence without a doubt

And to my shame and disgrace

Indeed I am to blame

Truly “Guilty” I declare

Defend me not

I don’t deserve



For feelings can only be felt



So, when I write about my love

Don’t ever think

That I’m making sense

No language can ever convey

The eternal

For expression falls short

By far



And feelings can only be felt



When I write about my sorrow

Don’t dare believe

My words or verses

My speech is nothing

But hollow hues

How can the infinite

Ever be defined



Feelings can only be felt

And truly “Guilty” I declare
