i speak in written word;
my lips, no sound may utter--
though in my silence
i may be found,
my soul in mortal mutter.
you may fail to hear me
if you close your eyes--
you must look beyond the sounds
and become mesmerized.
silence from my lips;
my heart believes in time--
the time it takes to form
the words
in the straightest line.
deep beneath the brightest smile,
and underneath the tear
is a story
or and explanation
i wait for you to hear.
so hear me with your eyes,
hear my written line;
in my silence
my words were aging--
as the finest tasting wine.

dg, this was very nice. Though I think if I watched your lips I wouldn't hear your words cause I'd be mesmerised by them.

DgV,
  I missed this the first time around, I'm glad you saw fit to share it again. Words are mighty tools or weapons, we decide thier use and hope to achieve their desired affect.Poetry is such a powerful mediun for conveying issues of the heart that spoken word may fail to do.  Good and thoughtful write!

I haven't heard your voice dg, but your written words speak clearly.  You speak very loudly in your silence.  Nice words here.

Lovely message here

Sometimes you have to let go and move on,
But never let go of the memories.
