SILENCE

pay more attention to the mute 

those unspoken feeling

where the mouth can't utter a sound

but the heart screams aloud

the burdened feelings 

eating so deep and cancerous

that smile cornered by the lips

has a world of unspoken realities 

the rolling of those eyes 

the tapping of their feet

the clenching of fist 

the continuous twisting and turning of the lips

they converse more within

obscene scenes in their minds

you are never invited to their domain 

unless they grant you access 

their words are limited 

their emotions are stale

their looks are deceptive

but when they love, they love wholeheartedly
