Silence

Just words

                       

                            Silence

We fall together into the midnight hours.
We allow the silence of the long night to hold deep embrace.
Old lovers like us, don't need words.
We need tender caress and sweet long  kisses to warm-up the heart and soul.

The true lover knows.
Love is many years together and making the memories of two people who held on tightly
in the bad days and made the good days last longer.

In your eyes. You tell me with gentle caress of the love look.
Love is alive and good.
I love the silence of the night with you.
We become one in body and heart.
Not fearing the good bye, but loving the hello.

Just words

Reviews

John,
Truly, your refrain of "just words" falls on mute ears, as this is a deeply entreating piece in homage and deference to a couple's longtime familiarity, entwined by the comfort and beautiful warmth and tenderness of their enduring and endearing moments preserved and made possible by the reality and wonderment of their love for and to one another.
Techy stuff: Something to consider, might be allowing a deeper, more smooth flow and more impacting poetic voice by putting into play fewer periods (stopping points), utilizing commas and well-placed line-breaks, and in a size larger, less common font in italics, for example, to gift it a softer feel. Here, I'll try and illustrate this for you by an easy edit of V1 (of course, unfortunately, the font I cannot change for you here):

We fall together …
into the midnight hours,
allowing long night's silence
to hold deep embrace.

Old lovers (like us),
don't need words,
we need tender caresses
and sweet, long kisses
to warm-up the heart and soul.

Just an idea shared from one love-smitten bard to another, John, to help broaden your already excellent skills a bit. : )
This is a most fetching piece, with a marvelously encouraging ending for us incorrigible romantics to hang our hearts on … my biggest smile of grateful thanks to you for sharing this lovely work, My Very Talented Friend! ⁓ Richard
