Silent Letters

In the depths of her words I dwell every inflection and punctuation accenting upon another emotion but it's between the lines I rest not understanding I confess silent letters gnawing at my brain maddening and driving me insane They're out in the open but hidden beneath the cadence the dialect making me a wreck spell it out for me I cant stress it enough simply and slowly leave out the fluff Roll away with your r's and dot those pretty little eyes whisper sweet harmonies with a melodic reprise

I read your mention of this poem on Darren's poem. Turns out, I was led to a wonderful write, Tim - one I think we can all understand and relate to. You make emotion tangible in so many of your strong writes and this is one of them. A GOOD, good poem ... CayCay

"It's between the lines I rest". Oh, that's so wonderful! My poetic heart melts and cherishes this line.
