Notes About The Poem
* Entry for 'Actualization of affection poetry contest. Theme : Feel me in my silence. Sponsor : Ink Empress

Feel me in my silence


Feel me in my silence
when I may not say a word
Feelings blend inside me,
a beautiful prism in my heart
Touch me softly, hold me tightly
Read my mannerisms, trust my acts
Know that I am genuine from truth
Blooming flowers have nothing to say
They have beauty to show a gift today
Know that if I am in pain, I will heal
Please understand my worries and fears,.
when hidden by this silent veil
I am willing to give the most I can,
for as long as I am here with you
Feel me in my silence
I will show you all that I'm willing to do
