O learn to red what silent love has writ...

A to Z

I write letters in my head
they're never sent
I write letters in my head
of things I should've said
I write letters in my head
even if your dead
I write them in my head
of thanks I should've sent
I write them and write them
I never use ink
water water, drowning in your drink
I write letters to my heart
of right and wrong
I sing songs of joy and pain
where everybody knows your name
I write letters every day
maybe soon they'll come your way
I write letters to my heart
dancing, dreaming, it's a start



This is one of my go-to poems, when I go to poetry readings and such. I dedicate this to my fab Auntie Laurea (another great woman with a funny name); I actually wrote her letter a few years ago, putting pen to paper to let her know how much she has meant in my life and what a great friend and inspiration she has always been, and still is! Everyone should write letters to someone they care about. Sometimes seeing words meant just for you, on paper; it makes you feel so special. Reading a letter from a friend who has passed, can bring emotions of every range, and make you feel still close to that love gone to spirit!

To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine
