Silent Words Rumi

When I look into your eyes, I become lost Withholding words That are so close to my lips Words I know I want to say I cannot Afraid of what you'll say So much I desire to let flow With sorrow silently I’ve told them A thousand times in my heart Words you need to hear Of feelings locked up Deep in my heart Arguments I try so hard to avoid Afraid you might close the door Like birds lock up in their cage I need to let them have wings and fly free, But kept covered For no one to hear or discern I need to keep them away, Locked up safe in my heart For fear of losing you 5/4/2015 Contest: Contemplation visual 2

Sometimes we choose to stay silent in order to keep the peace, but there are times when it's better to get things out in the open and clear the air. Excellent poem, Eve. // paul

Like a moth to a flame you seduce us with the beauty of you words and we fall prey to their magic. Emile.
