Mute Declaration

 

I think if I were to ever say aloud

My feelings as they rise in a swell

The mere intensity of my voice

Would surely sound a flood knell

 

You would perhaps then be swept

Losing balance, swamped within its force

My voice would then for sure falter

Self-consciousness making it hoarse

 

The truth spoken might seem too demanding

Too raw, for us to handle and cope

For when emotions are ever verbalized

The mere sound brings a need for hope

 

And I want no need to ever fill me

For that demands more than you can give

So I write of my love speaking without sound

And when you lovingly read it, makes me live

 

So never having said a word ever

I have lived each waking moment with you

And like a lover, shared my pain and joy

Through my lyrics, loving tender and new…
