lest the silence
trembles

Ripple a storm
tranquil spirit

Psalm 19

Showing
God's glory
stars display
His craftsmanship;
without utterance
His Name
is spoken....

Words are powerful  than sword
Unthinkable  utterance of one word
Cause complete crush of ones heart
So think before  you  say  anything ....

in this world
no words to compare to this
secretly, publicly, silently
in utterance, in writing

This word is LOVE

veiled thoughts, no longer coy
prisoner no more

with their utterance, freedom  
equipped to roam and to fly...

In utterance;
I protest
the reason I was born.

In utterance,
I protest your reason too.

We define our own reasons.

Let the control machine erode
and rust....

Propels purpose, persevering pursuit,
Usher unperturbed, undying utterance,
Imputes imbibes independent institute.

We were passing along
Looked at each other
Silently the eyes spoke
In the language of love
Without utterance; spoke
Both of us knew each other 
In little time; hearts connected
Beyond speaking we departed...

In the midst of expectations
she learnt acceptance
far away from grievance
she practiced transitions.

She doesn’t seek perfections
just some inductance
and some capacitance
are what lead to her aspirations.

Stagnantly idle, all can see
Horrifying comments, said upon to me
Utterance of ignorance, because I disagree
Thunderous demands; broken debris 

Unkempt existence; useless plea
Piercing is the voice; an obnoxious potpourri...

Will strands of thread hold

Hidden thoughts within my mind

Words never spoken

Fearing to give utterance

Or will silence be broken.

   "Streams of Silence"



quiet thoughts suspended in dramatic dance
evading sounds of audible utterance lost in trance
sharply thrusting deeply felt as a lovers lance.

Utterance of words seem
      Unnecessary when
Understanding rules the
      Union of two hearts in
Ubiquitous fashion;
      Unique is the love that
Undertakes such measures.

It must have been love – or so I thought

When pain was all your teasing eyes and utterance have caused

This musing heart of mine doesn’t learn a thing

That even the sweetest device can be debilitating

Just like a tooth, from chocolates, end up aching...

May the spirit of forgotten love
Touch you gently on the face
And the truth of inspired utterance
Quietly erase
The pain and shame
And disappointment
The disenchantment
You must have felt
Like mist before the morning sun
May it be gone
Without a trace....

Maybe

Is there no word so vague and so complete in its meaning that the utterance of such by its lonesome can convey all that one thinks or feels on a given subject? 

Maybe

A phrase both question and answer and yet also neither?

Maybe

Hmmm?
Yes, maybe....

Birdsong in the Early Morning\
Would Bliss My Soul
/If It Were You Singing
To My Lonely Heart\
Would Crush My Stolid Heart
With the Weight of Untold Utterance
After, and Only Since
The Bleeding Trees
Have Remained
So lonely, and Forever
Unperched By Your Quiet Melody...

Listen to poem:

What Am I But My Language
David J Walker

What am I but my language
Skin and hair and bone
Utterance 
That which alone 
Without a single sound
Has made the man 
He whom you are wont 
to think I am
To blaspheme against the sky
Least of all to love and live
At last to live and die...

locked in a smile
are secrets untold
reality waiting for love 
to unfold
anxiously waiting are words 
that are kept
inside my heart
to an unknown depth
for unto you i give my eyes
for my eyes there is 
no greater prize
for unto you i give my ears
for each utterance and 
every syllable it hears...

I-t's easy to say I love you, 
L-ife is filled with this utterance; 
O-pen hearts have heard these three words, 
V-iewing it at any distance.
E-ach and every letter just makes
Y-our sweet smiling eyes see it through; 
O-nce you speak of true affection, 
U-sing the key words I love you.

XV. Risum

There stood a man advanced in years.

Peering out I know not where.

He spoke one word I have yet to comprehend.

Of such weight he bore I dare not tread.

Upon this utterance his journeys end.

To take up his charge my duty lie.

So I'm bound.

Risen I forge.
