My branded world

If words could never express how I feel

Then what is the use of poetry?

Some are long, others short

Rhythm and rhyme is what rules them

What happens when the words we say ever single day

Are put out of context and explain something so clear

That we believe, at that moment in time we have found truth?

When silence is so loud, it threatens to pierce our eardrums?

When love is so close to hate, that death is the only bliss we feel there is?

When colour is represented through words such as sunset and thunder,

How do you explain that to a blind person?

Explain love to someone consumed with so much hate,

Even when you aren’t sure love is what we’ve felt???

How can words describe feelings that we think we’ve felt once

When that feeling is so long gone, thanks to experience and lack of trust?

One thing that is always with me,

Is the need to express ice cream in words

That every  tongue can understand

Even to the taste bud that is dead of all feeling…

If life is memories, scientific reactions and the complex process of the heart beat,

How does one go through joy, sadness, grief and love

But still survive to do it all again????
