Seems a whisper doesn't even come
when I want to speak.
These eyes don't see the bright things
when so much absence creates
irrational anger.
Lips, eyes, fingers
glued.
Who will pry them open?
Pen, words, poetry
dry
a state determined by necessity.
There is no torture more bleak
than knowing of presence
and pretending absence
and having to freeze my pen
for all the eyes that would
blaze its creations
into monster deeds of their own creation.

How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so.

misunderstanding the words of another or the need for another to express those words only isolated and seperates the two...and does not forge bonds but chains

Silence speaks volumes
for the audience and the librarian...
Your style is unique and glorious. ThisDiamond

When your pen wants to be a-mused... You just let it rip...
