The Language Of Love I heard somebody calling out for answers to her cries She wants to know if just in verse a true love can reside? If passion and all fervor live in the subconscious state? Or if it is quite simply that it all depends on fate? Expressing how you love someone comes not from fancy words It’s not about a pretty rose or thoughts of bees and birds It’s not about a flowery phrase that’s penned by quill on scroll It’s more about a lover’s gaze that pierces through one’s soul Our eyes can say more with a glance then words could ever tell The silent moment you both felt on your first carousel The feeling when you first held hands while strolling through the park The way you held each other when it got cold after dark How soft her pouty lips felt as you kissed her at the door How long you hugged and knew she was the one for evermore We mustn’t be concerned about finding those chosen words Our hearts have their own language that our ears have never heard Your heart will always know if what you feel is really true But it doesn’t guarantee that you’ll know what to do A feeling washing over you like rocks engulfed by waves A feeling knowing that you’d die so her life could be saved So worry not when your heart soars with eagles up above Your loving soul will open doors of promise and true love Don’t try to be someone your not Be your self all along Then no one can ever tell you you’re doing something wrong Our love’s expressed by things we do not just by things we say Our actions are what really prove And help our hearts convey How much that person means to us in our own special way So they know how much we care at the end of every day Godspeed my friends as you resume your quests for answers to The questions that we all must ask I hope they give you truth I hope your journey’s bring to you content and happiness I hope our fate divides us not Together we are blessed |

Wow... this is really good.  I haven't seen you around before, so, welcome to Passions.  I'll be looking for more from you. Kielo I know only one thing, and that thing is that I know nothing. |

It’s not about a flowery phrase that’s penned by quill on scroll It’s more about a lover’s gaze that pierces through one’s soul Oh, thank you. You have answered my cries so beautifully. This is it. This is what I am looking for. Words are secondary, the gravy, if you will...the icing on the cake. It is the unsaid. And it is not a fairy tale. I was searching for the right words, as poets often do, forgetting that love manifests in the senses. Oh, I feel so special today that you responded in this awesome way. God bless you. -Patricia |

Goodness, Richard, this is so beautiful. You said in one poem what I've been trying to say in many. You do have a way with words, Sir. I sure am glad that you came here. Now, we have another person who knows what "true love" is. It can't be explained or figured out, it just is. And when it comes, it needs to be nurtured every day and taken care of tenderly. But, both have to want this for it to happen. This is so true...... Don’t try to be someone your not Be your self all along Then no one can ever tell you you’re doing something wrong Well, I didn't intend to say all that, but it just came out. I love this whole poem, but this part sums up my feelings very nicely.... Our love’s expressed by things we do not just by things we say Our actions are what really prove And help our hearts convey How much that person means to us in our own special way So they know how much we care at the end of every day And this is one of the many reasons that I love my Honey so much. He feels exactly this way, too.... Thank you for this, Hugs, Ethel |

Nan - Thanks Nan, I’m glad... Hey I’m really starting to like it around here...lol Nancy - Wow what a nice thing to say! I am honored... Dear Patricia, I’m glad you enjoyed the poem... you’ve really given me a sense of what poetry, writing, or any creative endeavor is really all about... It is basically bringing someone, if even for a moment, a little joy... And I’m talking about myself by the way...lol No seriously, thanks again... for the inspiration, the opportunity and, for the validation... I feel a little more alive today... Thank You Always, Richy Mon Cherie - Or do you prefer Florence? Thank You for your comments, that was very kind of you! Pete - OK Pete, now I want to see some more of your writing OK? And truly thanks, I’m glad you liked it... Ethel - Sir? Please... your making me feel older then I already am...lol You know I’m kidding right? (hey wait, I actually do feel older then I am... gasp!) Thank you so much for the wonderful reply... It was very touching... As far as knowing what “true love” really is... Let’s just say that, I know how I would like it to be... Hey, it’s not so bad... you have to know what something is, before you can ever expect to find it right? Anyways... I have a feeling your the one who is the real authority here... Blessings to you... And thanks again! Startime55 - Wow, I’ve never had a standing ovation before! I’ll have to be honest with ya... it sounds pretty darn good... lol Thanks friend, you really know how to cheer a guy up on a rainy Sunday afternoon... Heck, that could even cheer up a frozen mummy on a sunny Fourth of July weekend! note to self: do a search on what particular holidays mummies celebrate ASAP (!) Sorry I’m so wordy everyone... writer’s habit... Take Care Everyone! Richy |

Our love’s expressed by things we do not just by things we say Our actions are what really prove And help our hearts convey Beautiful writing Richy, your message warmed my heart. And yes, the eyes have it. Thank you for this look of love, it is stunning and deeply felt. |

Hello Richy Your words took my breath away and I felt so very fortunate to see through the window into your beatiful soul. Thank you for sharing your innermost thoughts through your talented pen. It is so nice to see your smiling face in your picture. "Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring." Take care........Sue I am in motion |

Hi SimplyyGold, you must have found this one down in the basement...lol Hey, well thank you for reading it, and for the nice reply. That was very nice of you. Take Care Thank You Julie, how nice to hear from you. I like your name, “Whiskey.” Even though, you look more like a “Julie” then a Whiskey... lol I hope life’s been treating you real well... Thanks Dixie. It’s always nice to hear from you. I hope time’s are good for you! Thank You BluesSerenade, it warmed your heart huh? Wow, what a nice compliment! Well good, now we’re even, because your poetry always moves me too. You are so right about the eyes. When your really in love. You just can’t keep your eyes (or your hands either but...) off each other. And you know. Whether or not it’s true, and right. You just do. But you know, I bet even if you we’re blind, you could still tell. I guess, our heart’s have eyes too. Thanks again! Oh Sue... Gosh... are you sure your replying to the right poem, and looking at the right picture...lol Sue, you are just too sweet... really... But remember, just like the poem says, it’s really not about “the words.” It’s about our actions. “A tree is known by its fruit. And actions speak louder then words. It is what you do that defines you, not what you say. Deeds are fruit. Words, are but the leaves.” Thanks Sue, for always putting a big ol’ fat smile on my face...lol Oh and Sue, as far as, “Keeping Love In My Heart.” All I can say is, I’ll do my best OK? Sometimes, it’s just too difficult, to nurture a garden, that has so many clouds, are overhead... Thanks again everyone! Richy |
