Dying In Silence Poem by Okim Otu

I can't look at your glowing face
not that you scare me
my heart yearn for you

I can't talk to you
not that I stutter
my lips, fear has sealed

I am in love with you
but I can't voice a word
it's killing me softly; i can't even cry

why this igniting sparks;
when the fire isn't burning
why this glittering lantern;
when the light isn't shinning

will this whisper ever be heard?
will this silent song
forever giggles in my heart?

may the breeze blow those simple words to your hearing
may the raven deliver on time
these loving inscriptions to your door post
or I will forever die in silence.
