Whispering Letters

My heart speaks with a wordless voice
Whilst my hands seek to word the noise
It does not understand at times
My emotions run riot in a haze of confusion
Amidst this sifting and separating
Of what really is that has to be said
About what, anything if at all something
My body convulses in a nameless agony
Painless in its infliction but restless
In its captivity within me
My eyes dance in a mysterious light
The first to decipher what my heart speaks but chooses to hide
