Volumes of pages in unwritten books.
Volumes of pages in the simplest of looks.

So many words written in the expressions on faces.
So many words written with emotional traces.

A wrinkled brow, or dimple furrow, tell of deep sorrow.
A wrinkled brow, or dimple furrow, give hope for tomorrow.

A piercing glance of the eyes, tells of anger in waiting.
A piercing glance of the eyes, tells of romance sating.

A deep red glow of the cheek, shines of ire at its peak.
A deep red glow of the cheek, tells of the body’s amorous seek.

In the deep set lines, the tracks of happiness.
In the deep set lines, the grooves of stress.

So much said, without a single word spoken.
So much said, a vow of silence goes unbroken.

nodding here,

I read stories in faces too.

I enjoyed this much, and intend to read more of your offerings in the future.

It's true...you can see so much in someone's face.  Well done!

I have children, so hearing words is almost impossible when they are home, so reading faces is easier and quieter with ear plugs...lol

Thanks everyone!
