Poem: She walks in Silence

She walks in silence, like a lapping wave

drowned in chastity and flooded with rave

holding dear and tight her very beauties

denying all her gems and rubies.

Her powers disabled under the spell

the flame in wouldn’t break out of its shell.

 

Tempted to trace a humming call of fate

allured but reluctant to take the bait.

The strings of her heart lost their pitch and tone

the clutches of mind hurting to the bone.

Untraceable are the paths to no end

unable to soul, un-self and ascend.

 

She walks in silence, like a gliding breeze

fervent rising prayers brought her to her knees

seeking the blessings of grace, peace and love

if only her pain she could rise above.

Nameless beauty would dissolve in her womb

Her wounds.. sins she  would carry to her tomb.
