If
I am silent -
will it ever matter?
If I am well read -
but silent;
will my cognitive prowess
emanate?
If I am silent -
will anyone see
my heart's IQ?
If I don't care;
who cares?
If I am silent -
will I know myself better
against any volume
of bantering
nonsense?
In silence, perhaps there are more
shivers of tenderness
undulating -
more
frissons d'amour
tingling
ever so faint
but will we
ever know?

I would like to translate this poem
I think I'm discovering your heart's IQ! To speak or to be silent, that is the question.
