In Reticence

by Joe Cramer

In reticence, accused of nakedness

Unrevolting rhyme, left without bliss

The word written forth, with nary remorse

Sharing joy anew of this day,of course.

In reticence, escape to lands away,

If anything, just to hear them now say

Such said words, better yet left now unheard

Without a thought, or other single word.

I call to, such a muse of my soul

To speak your name when thoughts are fraught, grown cold.

Many things to say, more than man can tell

In the depth of dark night, you knew it well.

My naked heart is all that you can see.

What, I wonder, is to become of me.

I am glad your muse has inspired you. I enjoyed this sonnet very much. (Maybe because you used the word naked a few times) lol!
