Does the heart need
to hear a voice
to fall in love thus
Or should the heart
Feel unsaid words
Is this way for us

Can the soul
see a face
In the window of our eyes
Or does the soul
Know when
the written word lies

If you could but see
The me that hides
Here behind the screen
Would you then
Love me more
Than her that
You have seen

If love be found
In this worldly net
Would it be your seine
Or would you
Slip away to find
You’d loved her in vain

I believe a heart can fall in love without hearing a voice and can read a written lie, oh this is sad and beautiful. A heart knows, beneath it all...it always, always knows!
Beautiful!

I believe you can fall in love without hearing a word, but I also believe that sadly sometimes the heart hears what it wants to hear and sometimes that is lies. Thoughtful write I enjoyed this very much thank you.

Regards,
Olias.

And you write so. The answer is sometimes.

Devine....always-always it is what lies beneath that is most important.

If you close your eyes and open your mind you "see" much more.

Good questions, Sharon. I know in my case, I am a tad too easily influenced by beautiful words. But still I think usually the heart knows. And yes, it sure does need to be seen and known and understood and loved. Mine does anyway  
Take care.

I truely love poems that are a delight to read due to the composition and talent level and when the give reason to ponder some of life's little questions, then they have that extra kick to them.  Well, this one had both of these so I commend you on your talent and on the content you expressed so very well.  A wonderful write in many ways.

I believe that sometimes, when we need..it's because of someone else's lacking. In this poetic case...if he missed the gift inside of you then down the road..he would be needing very badly. Sometimes too late. This is a deep ponderer and proof of all that glows inside.

Sincerely,
Regina

Nicely done Lady.

There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar.
