Words And Actions
do I disappoint you
do I not measure up
am I less than you hoped for
am I more of all the wrong things
did you find me to be unworthy
did you learn my darkest truth
.
your words sound lovely
they speak of love and
an eternal dedication
.
when you wish to prove
your truest feelings
try moving your mouth less
and move closer toward action

I so wish this could be flashed out as a general notice to public! Ughh (N)
Well written!
Thank you! 🙂 If only… 😉 It’s great to meet you!
Same here! Pleasure.

“Actions speak louder than words”…perhaps so…but the very act of calling upon one to act through words is oft the only way to increase the desired volume.
Thank you! 🙂 Sometimes we do have to ask for more action. It’s great to meet you!
Back at ya John! Enjoying visiting your site!
Thank you! 🙂
Well, well. There’s a certain someone I could send this one to. But I won’t. Just happy that my feelings are shared.
Thank you, Karen! 🙂 Sometimes there are just things we want to say but know that if we do say them…well, better not.
Sadly, plenty of these around. 😉
Thank you, Bushka! 🙂 You’re right. FAR too many.
Ouch! There’s a story behind these words. I hope you are heard…
Thank you! 🙂 It’s a long and twisting story. One day I’ll be heard.
I agree with L.R…ouch! I felt the sting of the words and the emotion behind them. Powerful and thank you for sharing 🙂
Thank you! 🙂 Words can sting but actions can do so much more especially for the better.
Initial reaction: Wooww! with a smile. 😉 I really like this one. I had the same thoughts but I don’t have the talent to express them so beautifully as you did. Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you, Therese! 🙂 It’s great to meet you!

I liked the following poetry. Enjoy…
Thank you for the reblog! It’s great to meet you!
I like this one. This one is close to my heart. There is to much dissing going on.
Thank you! 🙂 I agree!
Exactly. Blogs are about writing though, everyone is free to voice opinions, whether we agree or not. Good post.
Thank you! 🙂 Disagreeing is good and healthy. I agree. It’s great to meet you!
Thanks John, pleasure to meet you also. In the beginning I thought this was written for the editor of a poetry magazine that ticked you off. I agree, it feels good to get something off your chest and I’m well aware not everyone will appreciate our stance on certain subjects. Oh well, haha.
Looking forward to reading more from you.
Thank you! 🙂 It could have been for an editor but this was written during a pretty recent personal experience. I agree that sometimes it feels good to get something off your chest even if it’s not to tell the person involved. Writing can be a big help and it can even prevent a lot of arguments. 😉
Exactly!
Thank you, Hasmeet! 🙂
Nice. I like this. Blunt. I could definitely say this to a few people in my life.
Thank you, Lynne! 🙂 I may have to say it to a few myself. 😉
Listen to what others think but worry not; for we answer to our own voice.
Thank you! 🙂 Absolutely! And we should never silence our own voice.

Thank you for the reblog! It’s great to meet you!
You’re welcome!

Such truth! I wish more people would heed this advice, it pains me to say it but sometimes, words are cheap.
Thank you! 🙂 Words can hurt us and leave emotional scars. They can also comfort us. Still, actions will always speak louder. You’re right. Words are cheap and meaningless in a lot of cases without actions.
So simply stated..but such a huge truth. Well done!
Thank you, JoHanna! 🙂
Indeed actions speak louder than words, but your words speak volumes too. Great piece
Thank you so much! 🙂
Effective and stylish description of the feeling of being insufficient in a relationship, and the fear of not being loved back. Or at least, that’s how I read it. Well written!
Thank you! 🙂 It’s great to meet you!
So true, actions and words get disconnected sometimes
Thank you, Denise! 🙂 They sure do and even worse they can communicate two different messages. It’s great to meet you!
Well said! ‘Actions speak louder than words’. That seems the message behind your poem. Worth reading indeed.
Thank you, Ashok! 🙂 That’s right. And when actions are contrary to the words that were spoken we learn the real truth. It’s great to meet you!
Wow! Superb! ::applause::
Thank you, Robin! 🙂 It’s great to meet you!
Pleasure to read.
Thank you! 🙂 It’s great to meet you!
Pleasure meeting you.
Wow – I think I’ve been guilty of this, as well as in transverse. I think, sometimes, we act hypocritical to our words and feelings, though. ‘Twould be better to act aright with our purpose, no?
Thank you! 🙂 We can be our own worst critics and be guilty of being hypercritical. Maybe putting more meaning and purpose behind our words and actions would earn better results. You may be right. It’s great to meet you!
Thank you; so sweet.It’s nice to meet you, too. I hope to read alot more of your work.
Likewise! 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
