Question: Can we travel beyond the reach of words!?
Beyond Reach
by Elaine P

What hidden place
lies beyond the reach
of words!?

Words cross the void
span the galaxies
of stars!.

Words reach the heart
soothe the soul reeling
in pain!.

Words are not virtual
though sent as photons
through the ether!.

Can a touch of your hand
lead beyond the reach
of words!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

The entire poem reaches into the depths of my soul!. Great poem Elaine!. Thought provoking!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Should your silken finger entwine through the sandpaper skin of my own, and your velvet lips touch mine, I would indeed be transported instantly to a dimension totally devoid of words, so that it would be impossible for any writer of immaculate words to describe the place or the feeling!. Beautiful poem, and yes a touch can lead to many places words cannot or dare not travel!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It always takes more than words, mere photons through the ether, it takes intent, it takes truth and honesty, it takes heart!.

In the end, only the poet knows if their words are true!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
