Poet

the quiet poet sits,

her mind a storm.

velvet flowers of beauty

wilt on her tongue

voice a silent melody,

never heard.

inky tears

drip

drip

drip

down her face,

splatter the paper.

her tears speak a million words

that she will never say.

for she is a poet,

tears for ink,

paper for a heart.
