Silence perturbed, yet 
immortally lay 
as the words sheared of pretences, 
thoughts neared of instances 
when love in repose 
‘pon my willing heart prey. 
 
flighted the feelings 
be rousted those words 
in their undress they ‘turbance 
in duress and meaning; 
meandering int’ my heart 
there to lay. 
 
 
 
 
In silence so forlorn 
those nine words 
I begrieved then, 
betrembeling portent 
they mused me 
to stay. 
 
With silence they taunted, 
with intent 
they haunted 
yet ever so salient 
those 9 words 
I am hearing 
 
 
 
 
and ever their portent 
in silence 
I’m fearing.
