Sometimes you have to sound things out.
Unspoken,
longing clogs the drain.
Unspoken,
sentimentum runs out of speed.
Unspoken,
tender embers cool and fade.
Withholding, simply put,
a breach of contract.
Sometimes you have to sound things out.
I love you,
unequivocally.
“Sometimes you have to sound things out.”
And this is true on so many metaphoric levels!
Yes, many levels.
I agree. Thanks for sharing at dVerse!
Thanks for your comment.
… Withholding, simply put,/a breach of contract.
Wonderful lines
Thanks.
Beautifully said!
Thanks!
My pleasure.
I absolutely agree, beautiful poem.
Thank you.
This is gorgeous! A precious message to not leave emotion unspoken … thank you.
Thank you!
Your poem is one that needs to be read slow and at least a few times. Very cool way you did the title.
Thank you! I appreciate it that you took the time to say so.
The eyes speak… but sometimes the message is lost in translation… So ‘sometimes you have to sound things out.’

Thanks for that contribution.
Things need to be said out… especially those that if never said will be lost in translation.
Thanks for taking the time to say so!
I love this! In my world and family direct communication doesn’t happen much. It is so unfortunate when there is so much love to be shared. I really appreciate when a poem is short and coveys deep thought. Yours did this for me today.
Thank you Ali, your words mean a great deal to me.
