death sentence

oh words, come forth
do not be shy

your fear of
being misconstrued
has clamped your voice
tightly shut.

words left unspoken
scream silently to a deaf
audience and
are not compelled
to leap and prance

  1. these are indeed a poet's words, bo...the lines connect anguish, pain and the words that refuse to flow, for the words and emotions have become one...It's a privilege to be privy to a poet's journey, as you describe your poems here...I am confident, by the quality of your lines, that it will be a journey that will bring you calm, peace and self-discovery...
