Unspoken

Seldom echoes the words of truth
Hidden away behind a brilliant mask.
The one she wears to make them smile
For nothing seems more familiar
Than the smile of a stranger
Gazing down into naked palms
The yearning never fades away
Balancing on a straight line
Alongside their whispers
Often heaven sent
Though she cannot reach for them
Desperate desires are merely shadows
Dancing along the walls
Of an overactive imagination
Leaving footprints on hardened sand
Breathing into her
From a distance she can feel the fiery fury
Of what lies beneath that hardened core
For the stars tell a story of things never seen
Passionate words left unspoken
Underneath a watchful eye-
