166: What do you say/to the most beautiful person you know...

DateSaturday, November 20, 2010 at 6:56AM

What do you say

to the most beautiful person you know

 

say nothing

whatever you voice will be wrong

or won’t be enough

 

we try so hard to speak

that we never say

 

it is easier to be quiet

 

to mention with eyes in/side glances

to hear with our skins

our hearts understand what

our ears can only hear

our spirits are the only true things

which resonate anything resembling the truth

 

if you have to say

speak from there
