No need for words.

Poetic rhythms this heart in words transcends emotion.
Impossible feelings neither quill nor ink this virgin paper stain.
Yet one inspires this world to know of love’s devotion.
How then pray will I convey such love for which I pain?

To search, this soul goes forth on lips a prayer to guide.
From ocean deep the mind confused intent on revelation.
Seek not mortal words that will from temptation hide.
Lest meanings falsely shield from truth loves affirmation.

Lost in doubt the truth engulfed my heart from seeking weeps.
Where concealed these words my love to prove for all to know.
Neither love lives not by phrase of hand nor a word to utter speaks.
But with this hearts endearing beat this love will ever flow.

Very beautiful- and conveying a lot of truth.
Some things can be spoken; some can be written- but all should be felt first...hug

Grandad, I am just too weak for these kind of expressions!

I read them, feel them, cry them and then dream them angel
My oh My, each day I am being reminded how very little this life is physical, really. Words, magically put together endow the mind with wings, eracing distances and obsticles.

Reading this Poem, I went on a wonderful journey....thank you.

It does seem that once again I am humbled by comments from my 'peers' who's knowledge of words I can only wish to capture.
Thank you everyone again, I shall endevour to reach the summits of your own writings.

Redex forgive me for not thanking you for your kind comment, I do tend to forget who comments on these poems when I can't see their names. That's one of the problems for having 'short memory loss' and being an 'oldie' rolling on the floor laughing
Bless you. bouquet bouquet bouquet
