SILENT SCREAM

There was a scream in my throat,

and all the words I will never ‘utter’.

I know you're the real one, you're not a whim,

only with you can I taste happiness.

Only with you can I touch the stars,

to feel the love that reaches to heaven.

Feelings pure in the heart nestle,

every new morning binds me to you.

As I call to you, my lips are dumb,

from night to night, from day to day.

As I pray for you and fear for you,

you are my desire and the most beautiful dream.
