A way with words

I have a way with words.

When I say 'way'
I mean more a relationship
and less like I control them.

Thats why I love
to act
to sing
to speak
and to write.

I enjoy the way the words twist and pull
the pick-ups
and let-downs
of letters and sounds.

Written or audible,
words mean much to me;
the pauses just as critical
as the words they're between.

So I keep spinning my verbal yarns
til my brain is kaput
and my breath is all gone.
With a bit of return,
maybe pride will I don,
and feel truly accomplished,
proving to all (and myself) of my charm.
