Listening to every heart

~~~soft words~~~

what we need to hear
is the soft of our conversation
words sprung from yesterday's romance
giving back that velvet glance
and taking this,
that one-more-chance

because we can
although we've taken a stand
apart
we still speak
from the heart
although not as lovely
as once before
bitter sometimes guards the door

but I need to hear
that conversation soft
oft as once it came
from your lips
and spread like a silken cloth
around these hips
that once were more slender, true
but that which still
belongs to you

as you say you
belong to me
and I wonder if I want you, see?
just as you then wonder of me…

so can we store the angry words
let them go away, unheard?
and take this hour, take it longer
to see if there is still the hunger
of what once was in passion's kiss
to see if it is something to miss

and find out if there lies aloft
a message from a conversation soft…
Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? Keeping in mind, I must stand close...

if only?

everyone who is in a relationship, should copy this and keep it very very close, embrace the words as vows...and most of all apply them to their lives...tremendous write

What wisdom you show in all of your poems, but this verse:

“we still speak
from the heart
although not as lovely
as once before
bitter sometimes guards the door”

Well, what can one say… “You hit the nail on the head.”
Great write!

Karilea,

Being able to capture those soft words again is key to keeping relationships alive, I think. In my experience, if they can't be found, they don't come back.

Lovely weave, this.

And thank you for being a friend.
