LOVE UNSPOKEN

     O! why do I feel O! ever so shy?

           stealing a glimpse from the corner of my eye, my eye

          A fleeting glance, all that it takes, to make me swoon

           I lower my lashes, alas a little too soon, too soon

          lest my eyes, me they betray,

         longings secret, to be given away, given away

           If only, my lips would part

         before you turn to depart, to depart

         If only, I could let you know,

        how much I care, I do care

          If only words would begin to flow

        all that I need to share, to share

         Wonder I, why am I, so wonder-struck !

        in my throat, words remain stuck, forever stuck

        Causing agony untold, these unspoken words

         when much to recite as song, poem and verse, and verse

         Relieve me O heavens

          from this spellbound speechless existence, existence

           In such silence, two hearts, can they ever fuse?

           break it through some magic, some clever ruse, clever ruse

            O! why do I feel, O! ever so shy?

            Am I so doomed, till the time I die, I die?

            Will the walls of fear, ever fall apart?

            trembling lips, muster strength, to open up, open up?
