Love Letter Without Words

Resting head on sill of window
A thought fills cold night’s vagrant circle
And heats it with the sweet perfume
My love dipped feeling without letter

So perfect is the path of gleaning
That vision of your dear heart fills me
I see your head bent low so serious
Your breath the music of the room

Your eyes first squinting in low light
Soften to glowing of an ember
And the concentration of some heat
Melts the rigid I was glimpsing

I would be standing at your back
My arms encircling your heart beating
To feel the pulse my thoughts have measured
As you turn and search the window

I sent the moon to post my love note
Across the heaven’s darkest paper
Sent on moonbeams silent curve
To touch you with my fervent render

I bare my shoulder to the touch
Of orb of light from near but yonder
And feel the heat of fingers tender
Your love dipped reply without letter

These are some of the most moving lines I have read in quite some time...this is such a fantastic poem, Martie...but, I wouldn't expect anything less!

Your words are like magic
This is full of wondrous phrases
And so much meaningful interplay without a single word
Only your magical ones
