Poems

My Heart Speaks

Let my words bridge the distance between us

Every letter, every space, every nuance of expression

Conveys feelings, numbering a multitude

A hundred, a thousand, a million; too many to mention

Each one intense-pulsating with life, moving with passion

Let my words banish the times spent in isolation

Dry up our tears of loneliness, warm our freezing souls

Melt the icy coldness of our hearts; revive our spirits 

Free us, so we can embrace eternity, entwining our paths

Let my words calm your weary heart, assure you of tomorrow

Bring light to your days, and be the sunshine behind your smile

Words, though nothing more than a jumble of letters and spaces

Are all we have at this moment-whether spoken or written

Conveyed through the softness of this voice or the dexterity of my mind

For now, my words alone can open the doors for us

And set our minds, unite our lives en route to the path of understanding

An understanding that belies reason, transcending meaning

Making you see beyond your fears and apprehensions

Telling you how my heart stays true though I am not before you

Soothing your heart and mine, and banishing the loneliness of the years

Let my words take presence and paint the promise of love

Color our somber gray world a blazing red and orange

Let my words be the loving kiss to lull you to sleep

Every night that I am not there to be by your side

These words...these words...Are all that is given to us

These words...these words...They are my freedom

They set my feelings in stone, so waste them not

Take them, absorb them, let them pierce your heart and mind

As you are lead to understanding 

Understanding that true love is what I have for you

The kind of true love more than any word I can say,

That kind of love so true nowhere else you can find.
