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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
