Blog change

Hey everyone, I've just changed the main reason for my blog. Where it started out as a showcase for my photographs, that never really kicked off due to the lack of photoediting toold so I have changed my blog and instead I shall now be (hopefully every other day) posting up a poem that I personally have written.
To start it off, I'm going to put up the first poem I ever wrote since I started taking poetry seriously. Its title is also that of a book of poems by myself that I hope to publish in the next year.

Power of Words 11.09.07
Words can tell truths, words can tell lies;
words are often mysteries put in disguise.

Words can ask a question, words give an answer;
Words say "Well done" to a competitive dancer.

Words can bring joy, but also bring sorrow;
words said today, can echo tomorrow.

Words from the head and words from the heart;
words we remember, words when we part.

Words can come early, but also come late;
words can grow love, but can also cause hate.

Words can change votes and words can start wars;
but words can unlock metaphorical doors.

Words can build bridges, or break them down;
words bring a smile, but too often a frown.

Words of forgiveness or words of cheer;
words that we read, and words that we hear.

Words we remember, or try and forget;
words make us thankful, or make us regret.

Words are emotions spilled on a page;
or told through a story, or said on stage.

Words give us heartbreak, and make us sad;
but they make us remember, good times that we had.

One man spoke, and the world could hear;
"I have a dream" was said very clear.

Words are written and words are spoke;
words can be serious, or they can tell a joke.

Words gain you popularity, or lose you support;
the words "Not guilty" we pray for in court.

Words make us laugh, and words make us cry;
Words fill the minute, and make time go by.

Some words we listen, some we ignore;
words give us comfort, or can make us sore.

Words that are harsh, words that are fair;
words we can use, to show that we care.

Words we note down, and words we omit;
words tell the crimes we didn’t commit.
If one man speaks, a thousand might listen;
his words are valued, and like gold they glisten.

Words said through anger, words said through prayer;
words we can tolerate, or words we can’t bear.

Words that are lies or words sincere;
Words make us grin, or shed a tear.

Words that are private, words that we share;
words that we promise, or solemnly swear.

To whisper, to talk, to shout or to yell;
words put together, the feelings they tell.

Words that we use, but are not quite sure;
of the hurt they'll cause or the smiles they'll ensure.

Words of tenacity, words of might;
Words that are dim, and words that are bright.

Words we really mean, and words we just say;
words we said previously, we regret today.

The words that we wait for, and the words we plead;
the words that we want, more words that we need.

Words spoken out by the smallest voice;
cannot be heard, it’s not our choice.

Words say "I’m sorry", words say "its fine";
Words we accept, or words we decline.

Words that are said straight, or words we bend;
words we keep with us, 'til the very end.

Words are a thought, opinion or belief;
some words dig deeper, to the harsh truth beneath.

Words are just letters, scrambled together;
but words can be powerful, so use them forever.
