She was famous for her many words
And he was famous for his few

We listened with half an ear
To all the words she spilled

The words he spoke
Were in bold letters
Engraved across your heart

Her words were remembered too
But were like titles
To paraphrased paragraphs
It was the substance
Of their consistency
That mattered

His few words spoken
Were like shiny red apples
Placed in a crystal clear bowl

Hers were wild flowers
Gathered from Springtime meadows
And with great excitment cast
Lying tossed at your feet

Mere words
Yet they were mirrors
Of two hearts
Love
Reflections
That last.

~Aah Songbird,...I loved the way your words portrayed 'their' words in this. The wildflowers were such a touch! All of this is creatively thought out, put together and then shared. Enjoyed. *Peace.

Songbird, "they" sound like a complimentary pair. I enjoyed this very much, very imaginative writing. Thanks for it.

This is just so lovely ~

I thought of a heart-shaped locket
with his and her words contained within.

You created a lovely memory-maker !

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it, it is funny how those opposites compliment each other. I have known alot of couples like this, who just seem meant for each other.
