Invisible Ink

Words in a mirror, spell a name

hidden from view behind a word game

in the corner of a poem, a lost word that I threw in

to speak my truths to let them live within

On a page in invisible ink, I let my words sink

the ones I want to speak, but instead bite my tongue in instinct

spilled my love in a code only I know, in a disjointed word flow

I threw words at the page, to disguise the meaning, the feelings that I can't show

In a book I planted a seed, a piece of my heart left to grow into a great oak tree

or a flower that blows in the breeze, the part of me that you can't see

planted in a dense forest to hide between a thousand others

to keep it from showing

to hide as it was growing

Left my voice on a bus seat, a note replete with words I'd never repeat

let my speech become quiet and weak, scared to let people hear the words I'd speak

left phrases in a paperback book, hidden words that gave a truer look

the hidden depths that can easily be mistook

Took a plunge, a stab in the dark

it wasn't a walk in the park

let my voice out, gave a startled shout

let my words fall out, started to fight the doubt

yet still the shadows grow, the mood can go low

the tune can slow, and my truths don't always flow

but I have made a start, my words from the heart

will keep on running, that was the hardest part

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.
