Cecil Hickman Poet Acrostic

Unspoken Words

Undeniably, I have been held in bonds of tears.
Not knowing how to show feeling in years,
Speech has never been a strong point for me.
Points of life are all that my heart will see.
Our words have been unspoken for so very long.
Kindred views between us have always been wrong.
Even though our passion was fleeting, beyond repair,
Now you come to me with self-loathing and despair.

We were then and this now, never to return again.
Once again, you come forth to take all the sin.
Reality is our love was only lust, so we must,
Deal and surrender to the discipline and disgust.
So you and I have a need, burying past in the dust.

Andrea Dietrich January 4, 2010 at 10:30 PM this certainly makes the reader have so many questions about this relationship! And appropriately it is entitled unspoken words. Is it for the contest? Good luck and good nght. (I think I better get off here soon!!)

Sue Mason December 29, 2009 at 12:30 PM Sad, but sometimes very true here, Cecil !! Without that strong friendship foundation, dust is exactly what lust becomes ... LOL ... and for someone to whom speech does not come easily, you are a wonderful writer !!!

Sara Kendrick December 29, 2009 at 4:29 AM Interesting thoughts put to pen on a topic of love that is only physical and not abiding. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
