Words Unsaid Poem by Melanie Walendowsky Baker

The words unsaid are those which I feel when I look right into you.
When I look right into your eyes.
But the uncertainty lies when I can’t read the words you want to say, if they are to be said.
So many words my eyes want to say.
My lips have been possessed by the cowardly power of fear.
Read me.
Read my eyes.
There shall be no doubt.
- Only that which your eyes keep within;
and which your lips shall never utter.

(Curitiba – 21 January,1995)
