Words, Oh Sweet Words
Oldfield, Brenda M
Words, Oh Sweet Words
Words, oh sweet words
You brighten me, and you enlighten me
You care to be spoken
Whilst embracing me, to listen
Words, oh sweet words
Your essence in harmony, animates my motions,
Which synchronise images, of your timeless notions
Thus, your melody sings, an echo of mine
The rhythms I be, sculpt, a silhouette of thine
Words, oh sweet words
Your poetic charms, solidify, my keynote affections
Soothed, by a stillness, in your lucid dimensions
Ah, your splendour in meaning, truly comforting
The tenderness, in your gentle tones, deeply touching
Words, oh sweet words
You’re music to my ears, like the joys, of my youth
Understanding’, is the maestro, of your truth,
Composing my bliss, brighter than, the stars above
Aye, my wisdom is awakened, by your lingo of love
Words, oh sweet words
You are the harvest, nourishing my will
Seducing my thoughts, like an open daffodil
Refining my goodness, in stormy kinships
Securing my needs, connecting my friendships
Words, oh sweet words
As you synthesise, my imagination leaps
When you’re playful, I laugh in hearty heaps
Console and I devour, your healing delights
Unite and I inhale, your energising insights
Words, oh sweet words
Without you, how could I,
Create a lullaby, classify and simplify
Hear my senses, or write these lines, so inclined
Even caress my emotions, and placate my mind
Words, oh sweet words
Oh yes, you set me free, to communicate
Neither good nor bad, you just create,
But, only man’s follies, deem you so
Eclipsed only, by your resplendent flow
Words, oh sweet words
Without you, who could I be? A loud bore
Gibbering without heed, like some squealing boar
Ah, what would I do? Rally, on my tenterhooks,
For your symbols in life, in kindness, and in books
Words, oh sweet words
Because of you, I can breathe
Mankind’s highest joys, thus you bequeath
A symbiosis, despite my greed, to hear thy guide
Rendering me a voice, so together we abide
I live by you! I am you! Oh sweet, incarnate words
