Silent Eyes

we spoke the words,
have traversed anew
all the motions,
we know what we heard
as I love you
swept our emotions

and now
as the words
would go unheard
this is how
we shall remember
our sweet surrender

for you looked
at me
with silent eyes
full with love,
understanding,
and compromise

you did not want it
all your way
you did not taunt me
with your say
you will not haunt me
on judgment day

for I looked
at you
with silent eyes
full of mischief,
comprehension,
and a realize

you had a beginning
that I was not in
I had a past
gone thick and thin
we were now one
in a lowering sun

as we shared
a look
with silent eyes
full of love
laden of promise
awash with silent sighs

so in the days
when words
may not compute
just look with
your silent eyes,
hear, in silence, no refute

and in our silent eyes
hear no lies
just our sweet,
low sighs
as we love
with silent eyes

Love that understands needs no words... It truly expresses itself..

Aw man LIW, you're not playing fair with poetry like this. I saw something in it myself, and I like what I saw, through my own silent eyes.

"you had a beginning
  that I was not in
  I had a past
  gone thick and thin
  we were now one
  in a lowering sun"

There is no past, with a loving present
even futures can be disregarded  
when here and now can remind us
that the reality of a good love does exist

LiW - you are an extraordinary poet
this too is a true treasure
