POEM - I WILL NOT WRITE THE WORDS
BY DONOVAN BALDWIN
I will not write the words,
My heart says to speak, for,
Those words hold power,
To open secret doors, and
Crumble mountains into dust.
I will not write the words,
I would have you hear, for,
That would cause both pain,
And, doubled would pain be,
When felt by both apart.
I will not write the words,
That touch so deep within, for,
They speak of hopes that,
Are not mine to give, and,
I am not brave enough to say.
I will not speak the words,
I long so much to speak, for,
They promise of tomorrow,
A real tomorrow over which,
You and I have no control.
I will not speak the words,
As I blindly gaze at mountains, for,
So much stands between me and thee,
And I dare not take that step,
Towards the destruction of my dream.
