Unspoken Words; What Poetry Means To Me
Unspoken words
on the surface of my mouth.
I wonder how, in deep thought, I lay.
I wonder how
How to release, to let them flow
These unspoken words are much too powerful to just let go
Unspoken, sitting on my brain-
it moves closer.
Unspoken, hanging over my tongue,
daunting-
No.
These unspoken words are too deep to just let go.
Unspoken words,
too deep to be explained in a stuttering everyday noun or with hesitant verbs.
Unspoken words
I wonder how, I wonder how
Pick up the pencil, head to the screen
It's time to showcase what these words mean
Words unspoken until black and white
lest, they lose impact and and dull becomes their bright.
It's done! I've said it, but not with my lips
I release the tension and losen my grip
These black and white words now have color
I release, yet I am fillled-
I am content.
They are spoken, now to recite, finally, with my lips.
