when words fail
by Melissa Arel
When words fail, will you know how I feel?
Will the shy rosepetal blush
or my soft tender touch
speak to you?
I could write novels with just one look
with every kiss
fill pages of a book.
I could recite poetry
with a single embrace,
do you hear me when you see my face?
When words fail, will you know how I feel?
My love, just hold my hand
and then you'll understand.

| Posted by George Hoerner on 08/09/18 at 04:43 PM You are right! Words do fail sometimes express our feelings. We use too many or too little or the wrong ones. Words never quite seem to express what two lips properly placed can do. Enjoyed the piece. Hope all is well! george |
