Unsung Confession: Silence of the Heart

She passes by

I see your sigh

She comes near

You are tongue-tied

Oh dear!

Oh dear!

She says “Hi!”

You just clear your throat

Oh my!

Oh my!

Why are you shy?

You ought to ply

How be it I see you freeze

You lie!

You lie!

You lie to the letter

Your mind is sober

You keep it inside

I see your lather.

Oh, you are dense!

Love is there

I can see its presence

There is no need for lens.

You lie!

You are lying to your heart

I see the dart

It is stuck in your heart

From the very start.

Can’t you find a word?

Lo!

It is cheap

You can afford

It is cheaper

Than the cheapest sword.

I hear your soliloquy

Yes, I can see!

Your heart and nerves

Jaunt in a dismal melee

You say you can’t

But feelings disagree

You say that it is impossible

But your heart says that it can be

Just let it free!

Let it free!

What’s wrong?

Aren’t your feelings strong?

If “No, they are”

There is no need to prolong

Say it clear!

Say it loud!

“I love you, Dear!”

Be proud.

Love confesses

Nothing more, nothing less

Love undresses

It wants to care

And caress.

It wants to kiss away

Every doubt

Doubts run away

Whenever lips pout

Its embrace

Gives comfort

Love ushers the way

Love is an escort

To passion every night

Love says “Come what may”

For both of you will fight.

But you are here

You are a coward

Is not that severe?

You move one step forward

But ten steps backward

With your friend fear

There is nothing love can do

This is stir!

You want

To keep it hidden

You think

It is forbidden

Bah!

Cynicism wins

You lean on its languid wall

It is clearly seen

Is your love raffish?

Oh, you are foolish!

You are cynicism’s main dish

You are granting its wish.

I see impunity

But is it right?

This is folly!

You don’t have the might

I suppose

You do not deserve her

There is not a litter

You just can’t’ be better.

I suppose

There is nothing love can do

You have decided to bear through

The unsung confession

I pity you!
