Visual Words - 2

Trying as best I can
in the writings that I put down
to capture the touch, the feel,
the smell, the image
a trigger, a pull
using ever visual words

Something of the real world
something to which all can relate
bringing the words to life
in the senses, the color, the light

As if a photograph,
words on the printed page
harkening to the thing, the feeling, the state
the touch, the taste, the person, the place
that we could bring them to mind

No hidden agenda, no message obscure
nothing out of place
just something to hold
to bring back to life
in the words, the image in space
