My Heart Speaks Your Language

When you close your eyes
do you know
what is dawning
as a torchlight on the silver glass
of your soul?
Does your heart like mine
throb with words
crying out to breathe life
into the darkness of your world
and for once,
be understood by all?

If our words could stand up
and dance in the light
of a moon shining on love
they could be loud enough
for others to learn.
Until everything said
played out in a scene of seconds
full of trust, never ending
or needing
to be discerned.

My heart speaks the language
that your heart understands.
Our thoughts
are one and the same.
Your heart too,
speaks the language 
my heart understands.
Each of our words
cries out to breathe life
into the darkness,
oh......
if only they could dance.

Author's Note

For my dear friend in India Maini Sk I generally am known to write poems of romance. Not this one...this is about the universal language of love and trust and peace that is in all the hearts of mankind. If we only try to listen to one another perhaps our words will dance.

Emotions are the same worldwide, and there is no language barrier. Very nice, Neva.

"Does your heart like mine
throb with words
crying out to breathe life
into the darkness of your world
and for once,
be understood by all?" - that says it all right there, lovely poem. Rather a Great poem

[Abdul Aziz]

Language is but a means to communicate. And it is not the only available option, as you have perfectly elucidated in your poem.

A poem that flows elegantly from line to line. A romantic read that fills the heart with warmth to imagine such a scene...

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

And it speaks that to me, Neva- as in your author's note.
"If only they could dance" - Would that not be the best?
I enjoyed this poem and the picture. You always have wonderful images with your lovely soothing words.

love is a universal language. Without words it's still understood..so easy to communicate. So easy to share.
