The word not spoken

goes not quite unheard.

It lingers in the eye,

in the semi-arch of brow.

A gesture of the hand

speaks pages more than words,

The echo rests in the heart

as driftwood does in sand,

To be rubbed by time

until it rots or shines.

The word not spoken

touches us as music

does the mind.

Ah yes, a lovely reminder that the best conversations require not a word to be spoken.
Nicely written work.

Beautiful! You seem to speak to what I wrote about in my last poem. Love the lines...

The echo rests in the heart

as driftwood does in sand,

You have a new fan

Dear Nourzihane, you are a poetess extraordinaire. There is beauty and wisdom in your lovely poem.

Yes, ofttimes the words not spoken speaks louder than those that are uttered.

Love & Light,

Exquisite! I think this is my favourite of your poems so far, Nourzhiane. It is amazing that you can express such sensitivity so eloquently in a language that is not your mother tongue.

Nourzihane,

Never were truer words so richly spoken by a fledgling artist! Body language is an art all it's own...which is why we have to be so very careful with the written word. Any why emoticons are so very important in today's large web.

Wonderful!

Nourzihane, that was a highly poetic response that you have written for your fellow pipsters!

It carries the "fragrance of magnificence"!

May your day be a glorious one!

Love,
EA

How is it that after your heart is ripped out, you feel so much?

Very insightful and also very true. I really enjoyed the "cadence" aspect of this piece and your line breaks along with the punctuation really added to the piece by controlling the speed of the read by natural pauses. Well done.
