Unspoken

Before the teal,
Of heavy rain,
A song did ring unclear.

But split and spatter,
In cracks and mounds,
Frayed the linen thin.

Struck against the bed at night,
A handgun held in envy,
Shatttered glass besides a mirror.

Just among the very leaves,
Tepid in a sunset morning,
The water seams the very dress.

Mouth did heal among the waves,
Strongest in real worry,
Greatest in raw fury.

Connected at last.

Speak to me,
for words are important to hear,
A bellow of the Hayward maiden.

Tongue through,
The daily reading,
eyes set down.

A crescent that's weaning,
Open mouth of child teething,
Tasting flesh of mother's meaning.

The sound I make,
A muttered clasp of hands in closet,
Else to mouth the things she's feeling.

Trapped inside a painful mourning,
Trying not to hear,
The life not worth living

Speak to me
For words are important to hear
Unsaid stories aren't moving easily
Creates ambiguity and confusions
Connections getting weak
Speak, speak, speak.

Just added a few lines, inspired reading your work. Good one.
