Un-Word

I let not words
Travel to my lips
That spring from my heart
To resonate your name in silent shiver

I let not utterances flow
Calling out to you
In the breath of tender affection
With arms stretched

You cannot listen to my silent whisper
Nor can you see my hands
Open to the world
For you to clasp it back

I hold on to the words
That stirs the heart
A thousand beats
To tell you tales of my then in silence

Feeble texture of thoughts in images
Throb my veins to a hushed quiet
Silent utterance means more than words
I whisper silently to my heart that cannot reach you


I have known silence filters
Settles down through the being
Where the pain soothes to numbness
To see the threshold of the aching heart raised

I call out your name in multitudes
For when I try
My voice cracks
And silence prevails
