Romantic love unexpressed,
A silent strife,
Held close throughout
A guarded life,
It holds a beauty,
Soft,and deep,
A special charm,
Secrets keep.

desire, for her, girlfriend, love,
Eyes blinded with the light
My heart felt what I saw
Brighter flower among withered ones
Joy and happiness caressed my mind
Full of words but tongue tied
But couldn’t let the feeling go unexpressed
In my mind was a jungle of questions
In my heart, answers seemed to be obvious
For once I felt the sweetness of my own thoughts
My soul was gradually driven into the world
The world of her love
Finally I found the match of my heart
The happiness of my soul in sorrow
Remedy to my wounded heart
The love of my life.

death, devotion, funeral, goodbye, grandfather, grief, i love you,
When you died
We wept and cried
So much you left
Inside unsaid
Buried with
Unexpressed regrets
Nothing to do with
Your grand children
You adored us
Unconditionally
Our youth our zest
Our innocence
No judging ever
Pure candid love
We gathered
When it happened
And I was the one
Who insisted
I’d sleep in your bed
I felt so privileged
Never doubting
You had visited
And kissed my head
Watched over me
Nestled there tiny in
The palm of your hand
Keeping me warm
All night till morn

Tears bring relief to a heavy heart
A heart clogged with unspoken sorrows
Why do we wish that tears would depart?
Tears heal the soul like a lush, green meadow
God has given us the gift of tears
No tears that wet His feet are wasted
Cry if you must; without shame and fear
Christ comforts the broken-hearted
Divine tears fell at Gethsemane
Can you feel the anguish of Christ's tears?
Tears and blood mingled in agony
Because of Christ, to God, we can draw near
Tears brought relief to my heavy heart
A heart clogged with unexpressed sorrows
God's love has caused sorrows to depart
God's love gives me hope for tomorrow

She did not understand my true love
I did not express my true feelings
as to what she is to me in life
she did not open up to me
nor I did tell her
and it remained
unexpressed
half love
Unhe kadr kahan hamare pray ki
Hamein fursat kahan is baat ki
Ke hum unhe yakeen dilate
Ki wo kya hain hamare
Ye jaan paate
Bus reh gaya
Yeh banke
Ek afsana
Adhure
Pyar

heart,
There she is,
without emotions,
feelings buried deep and unexpressed
no revelations
leaving everyone to guess.
What caused a broken heart
love set apart
a tender kiss goodbye
leaving one to cry
never understanding why.

desire, feelings, how i feel, longing, love, romance, trust, voyage,
Away, away, yet bound for love
And what, this hindrance hounding still
For feelings left but unexpressed
I hold back, yet against my will
And though I voyage in my search
I touch but what the surface knows
Afraid to plunge into the deep
Exploding as this feeling grows
But forge ahead and not hold back
I must if love is to be found
To reach my destination and
to not again run ship aground
Remembering as a youth,
the fear of unrequited love

anxiety, old,
Crawled back my haggard old age
Into a jubilant youth of a man
Just past late midnight and asked me
What was the wrong did you do?
Being baffled and confused I remained silent
And kept looking blank for a moment
Then I closed my eyes to tell him the truth
But I did not as I fear he would not come again
To listen to me what is kept unexpressed
My young age is like my child
Jolly, cherubic and energetic
Innocently asks me sometimes
What is the wrong with you and mother?
I could tell him, easily, the straight truth
But I could not, how could I?
Rather the right thing would be to say
My old age is the product of love of my youthful age.

devotion, faith, inspirational, love, uplifting, heart, heart,
Look inside my heart to find
My love, it pours like wine.
Unexpressed, it swells within.
Mere words cannot define.
It spills like rain and overflows,
Each drop like burning fire.
Sweetened by Your Spirit's fruit,
Perfected by desire.
Your gift of Grace illuminates
My love, in brilliant light.
Immersing me in cleansing streams
While finding Your delight.
In upward gaze, my eyes behold
Your Glory, filtering through.
I wrap it in a bow of love
Then give it back to You.
Where clouds appear in halos blue,
And meek join with the strong.
That's where I find the Heart of God
And where my heart belongs.

love, sensual, silence,
Why do we whisper words
in moments solemn
Why your fingers rest
Upon my lips…as if
To postpone them
Is it fear of
losing something dear
Something private
Something precious
Something best left
Unexpressed
Something shared psychically
Between us
How silent the heat of passion
How loud the beat
Of hearts pressed tight
How softly do we gently fashion
Emotions…
Out of naught but night
Can lust be tossed
By silence broken
Can love be lost
If words be spoken…
So why do we whisper
My dear…
when there’s no one
…Near to hear…

beauty, love, stars,
The beauty that is unnoticed
Shooting stars in the daylight
Can you hear their sound?
If you whisper to your heart
The beauty that is unexpressed
Burning love within your heart
Which is never confessed
Your dream, concealed in a pot
All fallen stars, unexpressed love
We never imagine how beautiful they were
Whisper to your heart to have
Real beauty be realized

sWords>>>> Cruel Intentions
Cruel and piercing words
insinuations that wound
leaves the heart bleeding
Careful Words……
talk, listen, ponder
for many speechless moments
share secret wisdom
Unspoken Words….
Sometimes in silence, I behold
Unspoken words of brightest gold
Thoughts are still; unexpressed
Like sparkling stars, these are best
Words in Song…….
Some share love with roses
But I share mine in song
For the power of music is passion
So my melody lingers on
Words in Poetry....
shimmering ideas
etching a lyrical spell
deep inside my soul
poetry that burns within
begging for release

earth, future,
After Us.
A world without man
Can’t exist in its vastness
A dream undreamed
When great cities are quarries
And nights are utter horror
Unrecorded dread
Mother elephant trumpeting
Survival to day
In a time that is godless
Phase is seasons of the vain
Will it be better
When storms blow without warning
And love is absent
When rivers flow and fish wake
Words are echoes of the past.
We are not to know
As humanity is silenced
Savannah grass and lions’ pride
Will continue unexpressed
No one will hear love’s echo

appreciation, happiness, love, relationship, trust, world,
and I close my eyes
to consider how perfect
this little universe
that we’ve created
this tiny bubble
that holds just you and i
its perfect balance
of comfort and mystery
knowns and unknowns
words said and unsaid
longings unaddressed
that hang in the lurch
that tint every conversation
that grow in their silence
pulsating unexpressed
think how tragic it might be
to lose some day
this perfect little universe

desire, heaven, hope, love, passion, relationship, romantic love,
Immortal Belovéd, if in despair
we grow listless with Love's unmet desire,
and high emotion oft' marks our affair,
we fail to love; and begin to expire.
'Ere long, lest our unexpressed Love's well fed
(often), it'll thus take another lover;
for man loves woman, and woman loves man:
but Love discards them both when it's over.
But, with hope, Love can over-run fore'er
(for us), remain, and survive misfortune;
to quit now would be our only error:
therefore, let us thus make our bond immune?
If Love can o'erflow and be ne'er-ending,
Beloved, then we, too, are worth defending.

SOMEWHERE...
Somewhere thoughts lonely in
Fields of desire scatter about
Like children laughing softly;
Eden be the delicious end
Somewhere tremendous strength
Rests on courage of emotion
That rises into hemispheres
Where power gently merges
Dreams and desire
Somewhere unexpressed shame
Molests me with such anguish
My womb ached while grief
Imparted anger; love cried
Tears of pain
Somewhere hand in hand we walk;
Too unbearable the end
Too deep the pain
So much—and yet
Love is easily missed
Somewhere I remain within the thoughts
Found in every withered desire;
Midnight murmuring sinister delight
Silent shadows sleep now

anger, conflict, confusion, crazy, humor, people,
It began with a careless remark
Uttered by one of the dinner guests,
Which ignited fury's sudden spark!
Perhaps it was better unexpressed.
Politeness went out of the window,
Good will left by the door,
Late afternoon lost its ruddy glow,
In the wake of the uproar!
Amid the August mess so fine,
Dinner, uneaten, grew cold.
Trembling glasses, spilled the wine;
The day grown quickly old.
Like butterflies, were all disguised?
Did they hide themselves so well?
Was it here today that love died,
Or long before the dinner bell?
Mockingbird sings to a summer night-
After the end, no turning back.
Though darkness is but a shadow of the light,
It is profoundly black!

angst, drink,
Step away, step further back
you unexpressed feelings are more than I lack.
Once you said you loved me,
whispered in shallow breaths cautious and resentfully.
It was more a trap than a declaration
that inspired my brief anticipation.
In your eyes the truth was clear
you simply had too much beer.

faith, hope, sunshine,
With these special folks,
Few words do I require,
Together we dance and sway,
Expressing our hearts' desire.
They don't speak to me every day,
But when we do converse,
We share our deepest thoughts,
Guiding me from bad to worse.
They speak from their own past,
My heroes, my trusted guides,
I cherish them deeply,
Yet rarely the love inside me resides.
Expressions left unspoken,
They're truly the finest around,
Friends from my childhood days,
Forever by my side, profound.
As their presence fades away from sight,
Their need grows stronger, day and night,
Love unexpressed, a burning desire,
Missing them deeply, their friendship I admire.

word play,
Why? one might ask.
Dreams and desires, reflections and perfection...
Why not a single word of encouragement, or reflection, and perfection...
Dreams and desires, just only reflections of guilt and fear Why?
Every word unspoken unexpressed would- a, could -a , should -a drama...
Know reason or purpose no reason nor rhyme...
Why's and wherefores to be found...
Why
disposable wisdom unspoken, unexpressed, friendship, hope, love...
Why
damned if you do, damned if you don't ...
You hate with passionate dislike...
Why you ask, yourself for what reason or purpose...
Why

emotions, feelings, love, romance,
How you read each smile
trading ‘Goodbye’ for ‘Be safe’;
What is love? It’s you;
Knowing what I truly need
just from one quick glance at me;
That extra minute
when you hold onto my hug
and I let go first;
Speaking my exact language
without me saying a word;
It’s silent moments
when you sit right beside me;
My unexpressed thoughts
you instinctively know them;
Love is everything you do.

confusion
Consider her small tears upon a paper,
By unexpressed words of a lover;
Can you believe keys to a pianos dusk tune,
Were once hands of a man that held a thing of beauty?
In a thing that sparked in humans heart,
Swiftly flew away, not even to be heard again by fate.
An unheard bliss,
That knew not of a lovers kiss,
Now knows no love, and of no rest.

beauty, blessing, cute, emotions, encouraging, me, nostalgia,
What melts my heart?
when he warms my cold hands during winter
when my love , engulfs me in his warmth
when I get carried in his arms like a favorite toy
like a child carrying his favorite candy
the place where I act like a spoiled brat yet
won't get judged ,yes I am loved like that..
What's Joy?
being able to be a part of his happy life
everyday together we rise and shine
when situations become tough we both whine
spending with you has become joyful and cheerful
having you is what makes me feel grateful.
