Encrypted
Stylized forms saying
Nothing from mouth
But volumes from eyes
That stare at the world
With glaze,
Tongue sharp
And sheathed barely
In politeness.

Enlightened,
I read

Read of
Once upon a time dreams
And always upon a day truths
Sharp edged memories
That still cut
Dulled pains
That still ache

The smile belies
The Sphinx faced strength
Hidden behind
Those encrypted eyes

and listening to the wind.

behind words
never said
is a
silent
scream
from a
bleeding heart
and
frozen dream
