Silence mocks the Pounding of my Heart,
Forever Mute in this world of Propriety,
Where One Word from You,
One Glance,
Should Forever Alter my most Settled Existence,
Brightening Everything I know,
Illuminating All I hold Dear,
And Painting Promise upon the Morrow
Like the Brightest Dawn of Clearest Morn;
Yet,
Silence is the word you Speak,
And failing to glance into my eyes,
My Heart, So Full, So Joyful and So Hopeful,
Stands in Mutiny against the notions my Love Pours Out.

Not my typical Upbeat/Hopeful verse, but life isn’t always Upbeat. besides, it was the image that inspired, and she certainly doesn’t look very happy 😦
Thanks Ever so Much Salva 🙂

Well, upbeat might even be not always the proper choice, anyway. 🙂
