Mute

Zerayn D.

The phoenix wonders, lost in thought,
what mind the man of diamonds brought,
in antagonizing silence full of weight,
it whispered low, compelled by fate:

“When will you speak your mind at last,
dear soul I watch as moments pass?
We watch each other every day,
our spirits drawn in silent sway.
Each compass points where hearts align,
and longs to feel your soul near mine.

Tell me, what worries haunt you so?
Your diamonds bright, yet shadows grow.
Their light reflects in rainbow’s sheen,
yet beauty hides what lies unseen.
You veil your gems in silent guise,
in torment deep behind your eyes.”
