a lonely soul <br />speaks <br />the sweetest <br /> <br />like a bird <br />that you trapped <br />with the sap <br />of the jack fruit tree <br /> <br />now caged <br />inside your <br />mind <br /> <br />so must you <br />sing now <br /> <br />shy away from prose <br />onward <br /> <br />the language of the music of <br />your soul <br /> <br />how lonely must it be <br />but how sweetest <br /> <br />so must you speak no more <br />about <br />where you are <br />and when and <br />why <br /> <br />you are what you are now <br />oh! lonely self <br /> <br />speaking with the silence of <br />the deepest ocean<br /><br />RIC S.
