WITHOUT WORDS

Without words

Without words,
lips give their voice
through soft kisses,
hands say their feelings
with tender touches.

It isn't a choir of golden tones
that lifts a heart from the shadows,
only the light from a single pair of eyes,
shining with the flame of devotion.

Sheltering without complaint
in the middle of any storm,
holding on when one falls into the shadows
just to keep you warm.

Enduring valleys and life's quakes
because the heart
is wrapped with another's face.

Finding it enough reason
to reach out in affection
because the beauty one beholds
radiating from another spirit
so bring and intense
all you can see is a gem
mid the stone forms of a day.
