Lisa, hon, look what you started.   :+)

 

 

HIDDEN WORDS SAY NOTHING

©2009 Robert C Burnham

 

Hidden words say nothing
Hidden emotions even less
Why do you not meet my eyes
Why do you make me guess

Life is too short for silly games
And all too soon we are gone
Why should I have to wonder
If you want me to come along

I tell you I love you
I tell you I'm here
You can see by my honesty
How much I truly care

Hidden words say nothing
Hidden emotions even less
Why do you not meet my eyes
Why do you make me guess

Don't psychoanalyze the pic, just added it for a smirk.

Everyone:

Be sure you have checked out Lisa Frost's & Chana's poems of the same title !!!

Ha, I loved the cupid at the end, thought it was a "nice" touch!!!

Such true words Rob. You have to say some things, otherwise they're never known. Lost to the threads of time, never known only to one.
Jennifer Lee Aug 4, 2009, 7:49pm EDT
I like your version very much and am about to post my own. What wonderful cross pollination is happening here today! Thank you, Robert! Hugs

This poem is so honest, I feel its piercing truth.
The photo made me laugh out loud.
Chana M. Aug 4, 2009, 8:23pm EDT
Ahhhh, submit to you know what group please.
Robert - just a simple man - B. Aug 5, 2009, 10:24am EDT
Done. And others are doing their own versions as well, be on the look out.
Lisa may have made herself a star. Or at least a leader among men.
Chana M. Aug 5, 2009, 3:39pm EDT
How about Lisa is a leader among people? Can we agree on that?
Patty Mayonaise Aug 4, 2009, 8:57pm EDT
brilliant~! and i loved the cupid at the end

People need to stop living under the assumption that people know what they are thinking. In any kind of relationship open communication is the key.
Randi Burnham-Brown Aug 4, 2009, 9:41pm EDT
Very good job, Robert.
barb n. Aug 4, 2009, 9:53pm EDT
~~~giggle~~~~too funny on the pic you added to this!!!!!

I will have to go check out the rest, I saw Jen's.....
Robert - just a simple man - B. Aug 5, 2009, 10:22am EDT
Just remember, Lisa F started this. Please do one of your own! "Hidden Words Say Nothing"
Shelbia C. Aug 4, 2009, 10:03pm EDT
I love the poem. I also love the pic. It definitely made me smile.
Mrslisae Photography E. Aug 4, 2009, 10:29pm EDT
smirked definitely
ann c. Aug 5, 2009, 10:27am EDT
( ) There are hidden words hiding in those parenthesis, ;-)
Robert - just a simple man - B. Aug 5, 2009, 1:14pm EDT
I see them. Though I would like to say yes I can't. I can't have your baby.
Robert - just a simple man - B. Aug 5, 2009, 1:14pm EDT
Oops forgot the ROFLMAO
Sharon P. Aug 5, 2009, 1:38pm EDT
Great read. Bye Cupid.
Chana M. Aug 5, 2009, 3:38pm EDT
Now for my real comment Robert. This poem is you. Should I say I know to much? No that would be unfair, wouldn't it. I see you in each stanza, each word. It is a beauty and purity of spirit I see. Thank you for submitting your poem to Tomas' group.
Robert - just a simple man - B. Aug 5, 2009, 4:38pm EDT
There's two in this poem. They both may be honest. At least one is assuredly honest. That one would be me.
Angela A. Aug 5, 2009, 7:02pm EDT
I have no hidden words for you, my friend.
Just honest, beloved ones.
I as always, offer my most humble hugs, any time you need them.

Thanks for posting to my group, Anythingwriting
