Not Spoken


Flash of lightning Strikes the fullness of my lips Mouth seal shut For a decade to be exact Words left unspoken Held capture in the mist Of my diaphragm Framing the picture Of words Flowing in the inner sphere Of my body A BOLT OF BREATH!!!!!! Reach the cracks In-between My teeth Flash of whiteness Shown through the opening Of my mouth YET!!!!!!!!!!!!! Words left unsaid Tragedy enters my faith LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lifeless in the street Ten mintues The ambulance come rushing To Revive my life Laid in a bed Unknown to my words RESULTS!!!!! Unable to speak Tragedy to my soul WRITTEN LANGUAGE!!!!!!!!!!!! Only way to communicate Lightning flashing to the tips Of my fingers Hands shaking to reach a paper Itching to touch a pen OH THE PAIN!!!!! But I must turn this feeling Into words Words led to my self-expression Written language Has save my life IN POETIC FORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
