Do I Have To?

Do I have to say "yes"

Or ...you can read quivering lips

Overflowing with silence?

Do I have to smile and nod

Or ...you can decode

The quaint meaning

I intend to upload?

Do I have to explain

The cause

Of drops of nectar

That my long lashes fondly gather

Or...you can gauge nuances

Those make me dither?

Do I have to spell

Draw lines to label

What brightens up my days

Sweetens up my nights

Those warm whiff of breath

Onsets pulsating riveting rhythm of life

Captures subtleties of

Coy demeanor

Or..you can decipher?
