No Words Spoken Poem by Wilfred Mellers

No Words Spoken
Written by: Wilfred Charles Mellers, Wednesday, August 24,2016

As tender as the pedals, I know
My love is a rose that gross
Infinite as the universe is its span
Yet easily falls apart in your hands

As touched it feels indeed
Nevertheless consequently slowly it tends to heel
Broken pieces far to lots
Tongue-tied abide into many knots

Yet the fire still burns
For the world still turns
For in the headlights standing in a trance
Thus afraid to take another chance

Awakened gleaming lurks in the dark
Like dry leaves, it was easily set to spark
Alone it roam's constantly querying
For promises broken those words spoken

You said you could, but you couldn't
You said you would, but you wouldn't
You said you did, but yet you didn't
For empty the sound coming from your lips

Once laying on a gurney
Solitary we travel on this journey
As hearts fall apart they too can mend
Brought back to being my beloved friend
