Unspoken

the depths of affection

my mouth refuses to divulge

words held captive

just behind my lips

like 

     an 

          unplanted  

kiss

the libretto unspoken

song unsung

known only to me

and the whispers of my heart

I am a Diamond

Not transparent as plate glass or spring water

Flawed, but exceptional in my imperfections

Profoundly rare; singular in every way

Asymmetrical, facets not always sparkling

Blemished, but beautiful, radiant, resilient
