Noting To Say

it's about talking...kinda ironic, right?!

July 2011
I wonder what
We’ll say when words
Lose their weight.
Unable to grasp the
Gravity of reality,
Will we simply
Gaze upon another
With not to say?

No more words;
Silent we’ll lie
And let the truth
Ignite our eyes.
Pools of fire
And perfect Light
As speech is seen
Within our sight.

Your quiet touch
Softly speaks to
Volumes of me.
Ringing crescendos
Re(verb) your thoughts
And let your fingers
Whisper, as you
Rub your thumb
Across my palm.

A marriage of
Tongues and sealed lips;
Aphonic language
Within our mouths
As we pronounce
Our voiceless hopes
In utter bliss

A speechless kiss.

How have I not come across this poem of yours before?!
This is a really lovely write. I think the following is my favourite stanza (look, it's hard to pick just one):
"No more words;
Silent we’ll lie
And let the truth
Ignite our eyes.
Pools of fire
And perfect Light
As speech is seen
Within our sight."

Sometimes things can be better said with a glance, a look, a smile, a touch... words just confuse things sometimes...
This poem is beautifully written - I really love it.

If I was telepathic I would say......................not I am not, so I will convey that this is a clever, thoughtful and interesting poem..words are clumsy compared to the speech of emotion..delightful read
