Ordinary Words - L.M. Kazmierczak

ORDINARY WORDS

There should be no such word as ordinary,

Since it cannot apply to you.

Our vocabulary works inadequately,

When I try describing you.

Words are my life, and I’m at a stand still,

Stuck with mere tools of my voice.

So let’s start from scratch and make up new rules,

So that I have a much better choice.

Ordinary words are weary. Regular vocabulary

Never will do justice to the way I must express myself.

I’ll throw out the dictionary. Build a new vocabulary.

Ordinary word won’t make its way back onto my bookshelf.

In its web only are bits of you.

Every day is not ordinary,

Now that I am around you.

All my days I’ll be searching dictionaries,

As I try describing you.

But a star of silence.

When I think of you my mind is filled,

Marking footprints to my heart.

My voice is stilled, and I’m forced to use

That tiny asterisk mark.

I hope this makes sense in some way

Because I can’t express

My love for you that has no words,

So I’m left with the asterisk.

BON MOTS AND ALL HAPPY THOUGHTS

Peter Pan has no corner on

thoughts happy as me.

You’re my happy thought lately,

and you know you set me free.

I’m moving the moon and stars to reshape our
