"Silent Scream"
I walk
Through
The
Constant
Crowds
(helplessly)
Not knowing
Whether
My
Eager eyes
Reveal my
Secret
Longings
To touch
And be
Taken by
A perfect
Stranger
To yield
These
Forbidden
Desires
And allow
The
Floodgates
To break
Mercilessly
Open
To spew
Forth
The dark
Lusts
And primordial
Longings
And to
Sip from
The broken
Chalice
Of half
Forgotten
Discretions
Once upon
A dusty
Memory
I should
Scarce
Recognize
My distorted
Reflection
Sanity cuts
Deep
Against my
Proper
Façade
Leaving such
Dark
Distortions
My twisted
Soul
Unrevealed
Unrelenting
Unresolved
Pained
By a
Chilling
Silent scream
