AND LINES APPEAR


Speech, Speech
where did it go?

I write, I write
I speak no more

I fear my mouth
will let it out
a burst, a blast
of inner self
seething, steaming, boiling
to be free
pent up too long
controlled

controlled?

But write I can
the pen’s in charge
the ink can flow
so very slow
it will not explode
(It does not know)

And lines appear
as words sometimes
to soothe in rhyme
the angry beast

But on it goes
from heart a-boil
and head of steam
from soul turmoiled
as yet
controlled?

Speech, Speech
where did it go?
I write, I write
the ink must flow . . .

I understand this very well - the pen can speak when the tongue could only scream. Well written.

I like your style of writing and I think I understand the need you've written about.
