Corrupted Silence

Nations form in words unsaid

And desires left unspoken.

Cities lie on continents

Of unexpressed regret.

Valleys of content rest

Between mountains of indecision.

Yet words cannot be weaved

Of thoughts left unstrung,

Out of tune and abandoned.

Rusted notes tasting of copper

Leaving shrill steaks of orange.

Postage unpaid

In a world of instant messaging,

Words too weighty

For such a delicate soul.

Yet, there is strength in the eyes

A quiet, understanding whisper

Buried in the corners of your lips…

Thoughts unspoken,

Words constructed and deconstructed

In the edifice that you are.
