This is one of the first poems that I shared with others. Based on the positive feedback from that experience I've been sharing them ever since. About two years after I wrote it, it was published in the book "False Roads to Manhood" by Frank Chase under the title "Words". Thanks Frank for your words of encouragement.
The Power of Words

Pierce like swords
Wrap like chain
Cruel or careless
Cause much pain
Smooth as silk
Gentle and kind
Wise or loving
Friends we find
Hard as steel
Or soft as cotton
Can’t take back
and not forgotten
Pierce like swords
Wrap like chain
Cruel or careless
Cause much pain
Smooth as silk
Gentle and kind
Wise or loving
Friends we find
Hard as steel
Or soft as cotton
