Words are often needless

This is an older poem of mine...written a few years ago...found it in one of the orkut communities...so thought of posting it here...

Words are often needless

Eyes can say so much more

A smile can bring much gladness

To those whom you adore

 

Words are of dazzling silver

But silence made of gold

When in some timeless moment

A loved one’s hand you hold

 

Words can’t inflict the pain

That a loved one’s tears cause

Nor can they speak of feelings

Beyond linguistic laws

 

By words we’re often shackled

Though our hearts can wander

And we can’t tell their stories

In all their youthful splendour

 

May love pervade the universe

Let the world with joy be crowned

May souls reach out to souls

And our hearts be unbound

What a generous and sincere finish to a fine piece of writing. And, what's more, there's so much to agree with in the verses, especially ,

'Words can’t inflict the pain
That a loved one’s tears cause
Nor can they speak of feelings
Beyond linguistic laws'

This is profoundly moving, especially for a poet who uses words so gracefully! You delve into that place where words (often painful or lacking in depth) fail to communicate our hearts and souls clearly. Powerfully voiced!
