More Than Words

I watched your face in the diffused lights,

Studying the silhouette of your nose, your lips,

And considering our fervent nights

And our tête-à-tête; all in pre-written scripts.

Your voice on the phone is light with mirth,

The words seems forged to my derelict ears

And I speculate what that we have is worth,

If I am wasting all my fraught tears.

When I doubt the magnitude of what we share

You astonish me with your munificent ways.

A deed, a touch -his hand against my hair;

It’s more sincere than any fabricated phrase.

I’ve given up faith in the authenticity of words;

My trust is in actions where you show your soul,

We will have what we have, as free as birds,

And together we will be, together we are whole.

    this is a very nice poem. at first i found it a bit confusing, a little hard to figer out where you were going with your words. then i read the last paragraph and all was clear. the unknow but heartfully know love. some of the word you used in your discribing were un know to me but usually the rest of the line helped me to figer out what you ment.
