Sweet nothings

Words spoken by your love are so sweet....

A secret spoken sweet, honey whispered. 

I listened, ears drinking every syllable, 

heart intoxicated with her words.  

There was none else in that crowded room, 

there was now only a couch for two. 

Intently I focused, every meaning deciphered, 

as she continued her melodic literation, 

greedily I imbibed those promises of love, 

those sweet nothings, 

except they weren't empty to me, 

these were auditory treasures, 

now locked away in my psyche, 

later on in the wee hours of the morning, 

I would gladly rehearse.   

Author's Note

A good word spoken is water to a dying soul...

The poem describes a deeply intimate moment between two people, focusing on the power of sweet, meaningful words shared in a crowded room. The speaker feels captivated and fully absorbed in the conversation, likening her words to treasures that will be cherished and remembered later. It emphasizes the significance of connection and the impact of love expressed through language.
Very Good, Well crafted

Wonderful poetry relates and this so related. So many guys need to learn a few things from you. The final line especially touched me because we females do wonder if our guy thinks about what we've said...or maybe you are the one in a million. I loved it. Thanks for sharing.

Those sweet nothings weren't empty to you, they were treasures...and they will replay in your mind, running circles in your head, as you drink in every syllable. Nice to meet you, Dave!

Hurt-full words - we MAY forgive but never truly forget. The sweet-nothings ones are our emotional support as well as how we are bound with their speaker.

[Dave W.]

There is alot of truth in what you wrote thank you

Hi Dave. This was a thought-full subject.
