When

You don’t say

You

Love me

Your

Never words..

Can’t say

Won’t say

You

Love me

Words

It’s ok

I don’t hurt

Words are only words

When

You don’t say

You

Love me

Your always words

Whisper speak

Dream speak

Love me

Speak

It’s ok

I won’t cry

I need to take more

Than words

When

You don’t say

You

Love me

Phone words

Sex text

What ever next words

It’s ok

I won’t sigh

You will always be there

When

You don’t say

You

Love me

Good night

God bless

See you

In the morning

Words

It’s ok

I don’t hurt

You

Make my heart sing

It’s ok

I know

You

Love me

I know

You

Love me

I know

You

Love me

I like it. For all the reasons below. Evocative, simple but structured. Congrats :)

Hi Rosalind
I too loved this poem. It teases the mind (and heart?) into filling in the gaps between the words from one's own experience. For me, one to come back to.
It's early days for me too on this site. My experience, like yours, is confined to a couple of open mic evenings. The scene is confusing isn't it (-;

Hi Ros, you little dark horse. :-)

I enjoyed your first attempt at poetry and can see where the inspiration came from from for the shape. In this case, i think it works well because of the subject matter.
Long, drawn out friendship and love and the mystery between them and the feelings they might want to hide or simply can't say.

I do love the quirky letters as it flows down towards the ending. ;-)

Well done.

Good Evening Rosalind,
I love this poem , the message is so simple and recognised and so often heard as cry from the heart and sob into your pillow talk, so many many times before. Love is not the easiest of paths to choose.
A quite beautiful poem.
Augusta
