The Power of Words

The power of words is understated
Their manipulative control is underrated.
Words embraced like a delicate dove
Can cause the other to fall in love.

They have the power to hypnotize
To lead a lover through blinded eyes.
They can heal and soothe the soul
The strongest feelings you'll ever know.

Chase a darkened, dismal day
Replaced with light, by the words we say.
They can ignite a forest fire
Start volcanic, eruptive, flowing desire.

When molded and melded with artful ply
Can cause a lover to painfully cry.
Phrases can flow, beneath the skin
intoxicate you, till addiction begins.

Bring anger and hatred to sinful seething
Boil the blood past wounded bleeding.
Make you dance and make you sing
Or burn you like a hornet's sting.

Words have great power, there's no denying
Persuasively powerful and mesmerizing.
Choose them carefully, for what you say
Can charm your reader or drive them away.
