Voices Intimate

To travel through the spinnakers of restless conversation
Where fingers trace the hours in relentless consecration
To his heart she speaks, in honesty a trust inside to grow
But to fall in love a stew too potent to let go

Barely audible the warmth that radiates the lips
Cannot be held at bay, or kept away from fingertips
There is no leash that holds the feelings thrust into this flow
And nothing kept away when hearts speak what they glow

And searching, when the miles have spent a furrowed wait
Somehow just below the tones of touch this rapt articulate
To rise in crest and fever that in truth belongs to only one
The better to keep silent vigil when these deeper feelings run

For lovers are true friends, in fantasy and dream
The longing that propels them takes a spectral color scheme
The heart will never listen to the lies of simply said
To fondle in its power all emotions crimson red

My gosh Kathleen...this just flows so beautifully.
Wonderful write...smiling here.
~Hugs to you, Nancy~

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
   is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.
