Love Has No Tongue Poem by Afzal Shauq

I wish...
for love to come...

The depths of your beauty
becomes my retreat.
And going there...
I forget everything...
frightened
sweating from this fire
that could burn me to ashes.

I wish...
for love to come....

But in your eyes
refusal I see.
No feelings of love
Only bitter contempt.
My words become frozen...
And I remain speechless...
because this love has no tongue
with which to speak.
