Best Unspoken Poems

I often scribble in the sand 
The words I find so hard to say
And hope the wind will come along 
And blow them all your way.

Born of glaciers, rivers flow,
turquoise ice and untouched snow,
deep green valleys far below,
ancient stands of hardwoods grow.

Icy rivers running deep,
through the mountain's midnight sleep,
darkened waters crest and leap,
earthbound secrets rivers keep.

Stoically the mountains stand,
nurturing the age-old land,
born before mere time began,
when Earth was pure, devoid...

Her dress flowing, I watch her laugh as she runs through the trees
They stand tall at her regality, bloom full with her smile
She glides as if on air; her grace natural, incomparable

The breeze blowing through her hair, she seems unreal
As if specific time and ability...

Unspoken words, whispers on the waves of the ocean,
Time memories create a world for our friendship to live in.
You always heard the echos of my soul,
The dance within the shadows.
Friendship wears many a face.
Bonds of time, an era long gone by, an imprint of a...

There are times
when conversation ceases 
and words become 
unnecessary,
giving way to 
sparkling eyes,
gentle hands, 
knowing smiles.

These speak volumes
regarding love,
affection,
friendship.
The roots of which
are firmly set
in bygone years,
growing ever stronger
with each tomorrow....

I carefully adjust the mask, before I face the day,
the one that I've been wearing ever since he went away.

His coming brought a happiness like one I'd never known.
His going left an emptiness that chills me to the bone.

His sisters and the others try so...

He held my hand, not one word was spoken

Then a ring he offered as a token

     He could not ask for marriage

     For fear I might disparage

His eyes conveyed sentiments unspoken

as the weight of my breath becomes
one heavy mist gathering smoke 
on the floor, until i holler inside my lungs
as if to collapse or disintegrate
into a pool of mashed bones… 

i call you privately

a silence totally numbing my senses,
through nipped murmurs as we are now
strangers...

Anger shrouds my sorrow,

I didn't get to tell him
He didn't get to know
Just how much he meant to me
How much I loved him so

And he didn't need to tell me too
I knew he felt the same
But yet, we slowly drifted apart
And both must take the blame,

We let both...

I didn’t get to tell him,
He didn’t get to know
Just how much he meant to me
How much I loved him so
He didn’t need to tell me too
I knew he felt the same
But yet, we slowly drifted apart
And both must take the blame,
We let our friends...

Here are my thoughts;
Put down to paper,

Here are my memories;
Written in stone,

Here are the words;
I left unspoken,

Here are the feelings;
That I left alone.

You've always managed;
To steal my stare,

You've always managed;
To make me smile,

You've always managed;
To look so beautiful,

You've always managed;
To seem versatile.

You've never hurt me;
With...

Many words remain unspoken;
secrets are thus created.
some are secrets of intimacy,
desire and unshared memories.
Whilst others are long since
forgotten as time has passed.
Thoughts unshared are the
essence of hidden fantasies that
belong in the land of the imaginative.
Words when spoken become ripples 
that grow into waves that flow
within...

I was always  in love with you
Couldn't tell it to you
I always wanted to be with you
You never understood
I always tried to touch your heart
You kept me far

When will you come and love me 
God only knows
When will you come and hold my hand
You...
