No uttered words the poet speaks
No skies of golden hue
No tales of unrequited love
They were lost when I lost you.

No words to caress her lover’s heart
And gone the dreams she swore they’d live
But alone within the poet dwells
No uttered words, none left to give.

No music swells within her soul
Just silence surrounds her heart
And the solitude engulfs her world
When the poet and love depart.

And lost the beauty she once could see
And the glory she saw each day
Now the poet pens her last farewell
No more love can she convey.

But what’s the poet’s soul to do?
To release the love se feels
For she’ll surely die and wither
If that love she now conceals.

She must hide the hurt and heartache
Just smile to friends and say
I’m fine…Love doesn’t matter
And deceive them all the way.

For a different face she’ll show them
To barricade her pain
To hide her scattered spirit
Form the love she ne’er attained.

But the pain within shall kill her
Not soon but through the years
For the poet knows her anguish
When alone she shed’s his tears.

And at night when dreams come calling
With his voice, his smile, his eyes
A single tear upon her cheek
Hides the pain her heart belies.

For she loved his soul completely
Was consumed by beauty’s bliss
Had shared his inner thought’s
But never shared his kiss.

And when death comes to the poet
And to heaven her soul ascends
She’ll smile before her beauty
For eternity never ends.

So will the poet regret the life
Which stole away the years
No, she’ll simply recall the love
She felt in all his tears.

And when her love has joined him
And they meet in heaven’s bliss
Their regrets will quickly perish
As they kiss their first sweet kiss.

And the words will quickly flow again
From my thoughts, to hand, to book
I’ll not write of god or heaven
When upon your face I look.

So the poet’s again a poet
For the words were always there
I just didn’t see much beauty
When your love I couldn’t share.
So their souls will find the love at last
That in life they could not seek
And the poet soon finds the words in you
The words, she could not speak…
