If no voice I had for words
would you still be able to hear?
Would mere actions be enough
to vocalize them loud and clear?
Would those words still flow from me
with every beat of my heart?
Could my eyes then still convey
my wish never to be apart?

With a soft brush of my hand
would I still be able to show,
feelings that are held for you
the ones I'd pray for you to know?
When lips pressed soft upon you
would you feel desire in the flame?
Could you feel the fire burning
as my soul would cry out your name?

If those little words again
I could not be able to say,
would you know that they were felt
if they could not be said each day?
If I could not speak these words
would you know that they were meant true,
each time that my heart whispered....
I am still so in love with you.

(For Bill, With all my love )


On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.
~Me~

What a beautiful love poem.

"Could you feel the fire burning
as my soul would cry out your name?"

And did he hear this yet? Or feel it? Or read it?
Thank you for sharing this gentle poem.

What a beautiful testemant to your love. I'm sure he will love it too. There are so many ways to say "I love you", and the actions definitely sing louder than the words themselves, though the words are nice to hear sometimes too

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Gentle Spirit - a very touching and tender writing. You don't have to worry about speaking those words, as you speak them very well...

I have a feeling he already knows.     If he doesn't, he shouldn't.  *s*
