Speak not to me of Love
not here, say it to my eyes,
there I will be sure of
your intentions without lies.

Speak not to me of us
not here, directly to my ears,
your voice I'll glean nonplussed
the truth and thus ally my fears.

Speak not to me of passion
not here, say it in my arms,
for only in this fashion
will my heart assure no harm.

Speak not to me tomorrow
but from the pillow on my bed,
goodnight would bring me sorrow
if your words were only read.

But speak,I beg please speak to me
if what you say is true,
and a future's what you seek would we
desire then pursue.

My true heart bleedeth red
and my breath gasps with desire,
but my trust needeth fed
for confessed Love to aspire.

Beautifully said.  Actions speak louder than words, even to poets.

Beautifully written, much thought has been put into this piece, which seems heart felt. I hope in real life you can express yourself as well. You have passion in your heart, which flows with your words, very, very nice work.
Look forward to reading more.
