I want my words to touch you

Caress you like silk

I want my words to burn you

Till under the fierce flame of them you wilt

I want my words to drench you

When you didn’t even realize there was rain

I want my words to help you

Erase all your pain

I want my words to affect you

Touch you deep in the core of your heart

I want my words to give you hope

To make a brand new start

I want my words to set you free

From all the memories that hold you prisoner

I want my words to form a song

That you can sing even if you are not a singer

I want my words to make you chortle in glee

When the lighter sides of life they make you see

I want my words to be a mirror

To help you see things as they are

I want my words to flow like a river

Nourishing. Smooth. Deep. Very far

I want my words to be an echo of your thoughts

Your feelings reflected in mine

I want my words to be the bridge between you and me

And for a long, long time sparkle and shine.
