Lost In Silence!A Poem by Bonaventure Onuabuchi
I've lied pertinently to, and; in earnest.
Spending so much to nurture my fear. The things virtue forbids; I've done. There has been much harm to love. Many times, the hurt obtrudes upon my thought. And each time, I realise the need to dethrone my deterrent, I only succeed in talking at lenght. But virtue wouldn't parallel such truth Like talking much while saying nothing. I know I haven't seal my lips. It's the right words to fill the gap that I fear to unfold. They are too heavy for my mouth; That's why I always leave them for my heart to her ears. It's now silence and noise, and they couldn't concord. And the silence is louder than the rival, Creating a pantomine; and odd fruition! Imagine! Dying in silence, though; I have been talking much But, 'I LOVE YOU' hasn't be among those echoes! © 2019 Bonaventure OnuabuchiFeatured Review
