You told me,
that my hands are always cold.
Especially my fingertips.
I blamed it on the weather
and
the foggy air of moody London,
but we both knew,
this is just how I am.
Icy.
You tried
to cunningly defrost my soul
and make my thoughts
all thawed and leaking water,
but
all it did,
was built defences higher
and suddenly
all doors got shut.
A heavy weight of a padlock.
You questioned everything
that popped into your head –
sincerity of my moving lips,
the truthfulness in my eyes,
the husky voice
and my motives.
True or false.
I played with strands of my hair,
to compliment
my misleading nervous answers,
while your orders
got more strict by a second,
creating waves of insecurity.
We played a game,
all back and forth,
tossing each others hearts
into the air.
Sky-high.
In the end,
there were only words left to play with,
so this is why I write.
Like this.

CHATTYOWL 
You are truly a one in a million artist… I love your words and the sound of your voice 🙂
I think now you are just being too kind, my dear 😉
To be honest, I was holding back… 🙂 You are amazing!!!
Wonderful poem, Chatty, and loved hearing your emotion through your recording, as well!
At the beginning i was awfully hesitant about recording this, but you know what they say, bravery comes with practice!
I just enjoy whispering words into the microphone for everyone to listen to. Sometimes the tone of voice says more than just typed words.
My Friend ChattyOwl,
Your writings are of Raw Emotion and I absolutley loved this Poem.
Oh dear, thank you so very much…. Its always an honour to have you on my blog..
My Dear Friend Chatty,
I’m touched by your reply, Thank You.
Your Friend,
Anastasia

It took you a while! 😛

Ruffle 😛

Beautiful poem .Deep thoughts yet strong.The dialogue excellent .l liked the end.Thank you for liking my recent posts.(Alaska) Jalal
Thank you. And your holiday looks like a dream, it was nice to flick through photos.
The spoken word revealed so much without ever lifting the veil that is the mystery and addiction behind your written words. Feelings are a tricky thing to capture…but you’ve found that trick and bent it into the unquie shape that is CHATTY OWL! Thank you…from now until forever.
You always say the things i want to hear. Thank you for being such a big support! Well, im not deliberately trying to make my writings any different, but im glad you think they stand out 🙂
I’m glad they do as well and that I was smart enough to check your works out. I’m thankful for that so there is no need to thank me…I thank you for being such a fantastic poet!
Love it, Chatty! Love the ending…
Thanks dollface! Glad you liked it!
Awesome and love how you juggle with words to romanticize the state of being:)
Thanks! Thats a lovely thing to say. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Brilliant! I have always kind of envied writers like you that seem to effortlessly write with such depth and skill. *sigh* .
This is really nice and sad and nice,ok I think I will just stop here and just say Nice!
Oh no no! Don’t say that 🙂 your writings are great and i always enjoyed them on the poets corner 🙂 but thank you for your compliment. Unfortunately, “effortlessly” only comes now and then to me 🙂
“In the end, there were only words left to play with, so this is why I write. Like this.”
I so love this passage (as well the entire poem)…oh Ms. Owl, you’re so very, very good 🙂
And you, my dear, are very very good at flattery!
Flattery only works when there is something flattering to be flattery-luscious about!! (yes, I took liberties with the English language on that one lol) 🙂
Holy moly, thats one awesome word! Ha. Thanks for the compliment. Sir.
your art is one of those rare, rare things that gives me physical pleasure yet has so much intellectual passion as well. i look forward to every poem. xo tony
Tony, these words, coming from you, is such a compliment to me. Knowing how talented serene you are, i feel you are far too kind to me. Thank you.
the truth shines. tony
It is always an incentive to listen your voice. Thank you for this beautiful poem!
And thank you for being so kind and actually taking time to listen 🙂
You’re welcome 🙂
Oh wow. I just had like a chill jolt through my body. Awesome writing as always and super-awesome recording
So very pleased that i could satisfy someone like you.
Another great poem Chatty! Thanks for sharing with us! (Love the talky bit too adds so much to it! 🙂 )
I like that you like my talky bits! Ha ha, that sounded so wrong!
It’s too late to write concerning shaking limbs when ours hearts are a mess. I just love this and I hope that you are on my side when all my demons try to haunt me and come back to blow out my candles. Lovely.
Your descriptive replies and comments leave me floored. Your imagination and twisted words are so delightful.
ah… nothing like the spoken word…
🙂 im so delighted that you liked it. You did, right? 🙂
oh yes… I used it as a spring board for another one 🙂
🙂
Is it weird that i feel electricity buzzing?
I dont know about you but the simple act of someone really trying to get me to have the same feelings for them that they have for me always ends up accomplishing the exact opposite. If you keep trying to force something that just wont fit you generally end up causing nothing but harm.
Same here. Imposed attention is tiring and if the feeling is not mutual, i tend to start despising that person..
you engage in the most amazing and intelligent dialogues with yourself – and yet you still hide your eyes, in which truth is always (sometimes?) revealed
Yes, hiding my eyes became to be what chatty owl is. Maybe its better that way, nobody likes transparent 🙂
alas, I may suffer for my transparency – but I hope it doesn’t put you off
Put me off? Not in the slightest.
All questions asked cease to exist once they are answered clearly. While disappearing they may give a bliss. So it’s worth questioning everything 🙂
I sometimes question in my head only, leaving my lips sealed 🙂
The deep meaning that you put into your words can only be founded in painful experience. Tell me its not true and you are simply a genius
It is NOT true….
Then you are truly a genius (I knew that)
I think thats truly too strong of a statement, but thank you so very very much.
I see what you did there at the end 😉
Your voice adds so much more to your words. Truly stunning owly.
You are such a smart cookie.
I try 😉 but I think it’s more than that 🙂
Hmmm. More?
nice.
Thanks lover boy.
?
Got offended?
No…
I was wondering why “lover boy”?
I thought that was a nice name. My bad. Wont use it again 🙂
(:
I sent you subtitles!
I saw….
