Formerly Unsaid

  • Categories Poetry & Prose
  • Date November 1, 2011

Standing, still unsung,
are the lyrics your name creates.
Remolded by the sun,
reflecting from your face.

Building, still unheard,
is the rhythm of your breath.
Sweeping up the sail,
that beats heavy beneath my chest.

Sitting, still unsaid,
are the words upon my heart.
Melting on my tongue,
and falling to you hard.

Dripping, from my lips,
a bleeding and powerful truth.
Written on every wall —

“I still love you.”

    Really enjoyed this romantic/heartbreak piece. I don’t think love ever dies, even when it is gone.
    The greatest thing we can continue to do is say I love you.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I know this feeling all too well. But would never have stated it so beautifully.
    I like the photo a lot too!

    All the tension in this, all the frustrated yearning! Wow! So glad the title is “Formerly Unsaid.” Hope the outcome was everything you hoped when you finally voiced this!

    Wow! You practically captivated me with the first line, and it just got better. I love the musicality of your poem. Very smooth and skilfully written. And heart wrenching to boot. Shame too many of us can so easily identify with your piece. Brava!

    Ahh!!! The most powerful trigger, which can move words to become verse… “I still love you”
    I liked it very much.. and could feel the pain.. in all the imagery that you have created with your wonderful words…
    Ending was perfect.

    Love the weave and flow of the words in this one. My heart sings along with the rhythm, and stops cold at the language and imagery. Really quite a ride!
