Speak- One of My Favorite Unloved Poems

Oh, clothe those loving thoughts in words Give voice to all that lives inside For when they simply dormant lie I must likewise my passion hide. Oh, give utterance to love’s tides Which now flow unchecked from your eyes Speak them into existence, Love Or this poor soul might think them lies. Why must I question every look? And second guess the smallest move When all you need to do is say What I need your love to prove. Ah...speak, for tis true once it’s said There will be no way to retrace Your steps to that platonic state Where love was banished from your face. Then speak...speak..for I’m faint to hear The words of love you hold so dear You must utter them in a pledge And breathe them sweetly in my ear! Oh, for the love of heaven, SPEAK!

Absolutely gorgeous. Strength in your spoken word. Speaking of which, I do hope you can call into my show on Sunday. It'd be wonderful to hear from you, FYI. ;-)
