   All That Need Be Said

Though I have ‘painted’
a thousand magic images
bright and deep in so
very many poems of
Love and admiration
each which sought,
perhaps in vain, to
tempt perfection from
the boundless, unforgiving
canvass of the empty page
and capture the
grand-immeasurable
effect of you, and your
loveliness of mind
and heart and form,
upon all that I am
or could ever
hope to be ...
when my spirit
first spoke to yours,
I simply must believe,
you had already heard
all the 'words' that
ever need be said.

You made me think with this one. Can we ever say what we mean, and if we can, is it necessary?  Are words and images necessary when love is reciprocated? And if it is not reciprocated, are they of any value at all?

Indeed you have made your inner self heard to the one gone on before and to those of us who truly love your thoughts put down in words.

We guys sometimes, (often actually) find the right words to bestow upon the love of our life. I find that to be the case daily it seems.

You're fortunate, JP ... none of my 'words' have ever been effective in 'relationships'
... most Americans simply don't have "poetic souls," methinks?!
