I Cannot Say

I hide  my emotions in a place so deep.
Living a act to myself I keep.
Understanding all with  ideas  I play.
Voices echo from the page  all I cannot say.

Jokes from the clown.
Undone I am when in this  empty town.
Love fills the air in the spring.
Encounters crushing hearts and many gold ring.
She Understands in a different way.
For she hears with the heart  all I cannot say.

In code i speak without any rules.
Thieves try to grasp anothers  jewels.

But my tongue speaks in limited realm.
Storms I welcome as long with me 
you are at the healm.

Take this message and save it 
for a lonley day.
And cling to the passion
of what I cannot say.
