"Do you love me?" She asked. The man gazed at the women, As the story of Her - Unfolded within his mind. He smiled, And simply nodded. Looking within his eyes, Reading the story told, She returned the smile. She recognized The nod. This is the story Told within a simple Gesture - This is the story behind the nod. ~ You ask me if I love you, And I can only nod my head. And yet - Your every touch Feels like home Your voice Sounds within me as sweetened Laughter. Your ears Hear my cry From a thousand miles away. Your heart Beats as the only rhythm of my world. Your soul Mingles as my own. And still - You ask me if I love you. And I can only Nod my head. And yet you know. |

I suppose if you recognize his nod then you understand what he's saying. But those three little words speak volumes, and if they are truly felt then why not shout them from the roof top! Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed your poem very much Ericc. |

 (smiles) Awwwwwwwww, it can be so saddening though to see the nod just being a lie to itself, I think how you can really tell if the nod is faithful and true is by the smile on ones face at the same time! (big hugggssssss) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

You've done it again.... Leaving me feeling jealous of the one you so romantically pour your heart out to. She must be something special to stir all the emotions to create these poems... even if you don't say it out loud... ~ sigh ~ BlueEyes |

"Your heart beats as the only rhythm of my world" ... What else could have been said? This is music for ears, when eyes are not satisfied with a nod! Wonderful! Margherita |

Wonderfully said, beautifully written... He answers her, not with words, but he does answer her... with a gesture... a way for her to know without a sound... and this is all that she could want. Thank you... I love this poem. A very sweet story told. Love, Moca |
