Silent Love

(Love vented, like rose scented, is favored.
Love uttered, like bread buttered, is flavored.)

(Suppression of feeling is expression of misgiving.
Repression of loving is transgression in living.)

i vent love
mutely
with soft rose
and color crayons
of shifting shades,

sans white ink
of silky rayon plume.

(between
rose and crayon
is pink.

between
paper and pen
is ink.)


- love
is between
pink and ink.
