Out of My Mouth

Slander like ivy,
Grows out of my mouth,
Maybe I shouldn't even if it grows anew.
Who am I to judge even if it's true.

weeping on a lea
speaking in sotto voce
I am the spring rain...
whispering to the flowers
murmuring soft to the trees

The Lonely Sounds of Silence

The calm before the storm creeps in,
Silence amongst us, speaking its lonely words,
We hear naught, for naught is heard.

Uncomfortable Moment

Skirts were short in sixty nine,
my speech teacher wore them well
sitting ON her desk in class,
please, no speaking now!

Two friends together speaking in silence.
Nature's mirror
reflecting

Hear me
Speaking to you
My words fly to the stars
You do not try to capture them
They fall.

Speaking honeyed endearments
Of sweetest potions
Mixed with enamored innocence
As thy lips dripped bare
My delicious desire

I just want to be emphatic

But with all this social static

It's hard to remain pragmatic

The end of all is vanity,
damnation so accused
The mirror speaking falsely
—of promise purple hued

When speaking in one last breath.

As my entire being dies,
He takes me to the heavens.

Before speaking the words

Intentional

Speak now,
if you want to,
Keep silent,
if you want to,
I cannot force you,
to do either,
I am speaking,
because I wanted to.

Can'T See You I Hear You

we're miles apart
your in my heart
I hear your tone
BY
speaking on the phone
makes me happy too
I CAN'T SEE YOU
I CAN HEAR YOU

Premium Member Oblivious

They were speaking loudly.
Nothing could I hear.
Volumes are clear.
Chatter is around me,
Nothing could I hear.

Am I listening?

Meaningless words flow from my lips
Speaking without saying a thing
Rambling on with no point at all
Writing lines that have no meaning
