Untitled




Behind your tightlipped mouth
is a smile that don't want to flash
and a joy trailing your inner voice

I thought i may see an effort to resist
watched your cheeks elevate and blush
perhaps fake interest in your furrowed brows

but clearly you'll never speak of your love
but clearly you'll never speak of your love.

    Yes, very nice poem and a good photo, BJE..Love loses essence when one speaks of it, so I feel....But I'll say I love that soft cactus :)

    wishes,

    unspoken; like the theme of your poem, is the beauty of the cactus
