Too precipitate the moments
Wordless knowledge scattered here
Like children’s toys left out
In early summer’s rain
Speak not to me
Of half the truth
Of courage yet
Have greater proof
While only these lost memories remain
Too gentle is this passion
Withheld, trembling inside
Like promises too emboldened
To ever, ever keep
Speak not to me
Of dreams unborn
Of kisses chaste
And vows unsworn
Our little lives just rounded by our sleep
Too wise to make such methods
Or the mechanics of the heart
Be more than baubles strung
On last year’s yuletide tree
Speak not to me
As fingers touch
This says too little
And means too much
Our deepest secrets leaking by degrees
And deep below in hell fire freeze
As rain unbidden in springtime breeze
Our words unsaid are but a tease
Our precious secrets leaking by degrees

This weekβs prompt at Mindlovemiserys Menagerie is the word, “Mamihlapinatapei” βThe wordless, yet meaningful look shared by two people who both desire to initiate something but are both reluctant to start.β Read this beautiful, breathtaking poem and see where this writer had taken this. Delicious!
That was beautiful.
Thanks so much!! π
