Muffled Candor
by Patricia Gomes → (All Poetry by Patricia Gomes)

I could whisper
in your waiting ear, to your hungry heart
of how I'd never met another
like you.

I'd be lying.

I could murmur
in the dark, under woven wool and hairy legs,
praise your sexual expertise.
Moan you're the best.

I'd be lying.

I could write your name
with red ink inside lop-sided
hearts. A poem to promise
I will never leave.

I'd be lying.

Dreadfully silent is the sound of honesty.

If only everyone could be as absolutely honest as you in love, then hearts wouldn't break so easily. Great Job.

Amazing, to find pleasure in the possible lie is, I guess, human nature's need for attention and affirmation...I like this, P.!

Pat,

Speechless!!! Ummm I can't pick a line or stanza in this that is my favorite, okay the ending, BANG!

Now excuse me, because I need some coffee after this one, although it gave me a jolt all on its own!

Will be coming back here and reading this one about 1000 times...at least!

Love You,
Maria

I can picture the look on the face of whoever you would say this too ......
.......................................
"I would tell you it didn't hurt me
I'd be lying,
I would say I understood
I'd be lying,
I would say it doesn't matter
and wait for the teardrops to fall,
But before they touched the ground
I'd be gone; suitcase and all,
And the roar of the motor
as the car sped away
would breakd the f..king silence
once and for all." Shakesphere
or Bill Murray
