My Heart Speaks Your Language

When you close your eyes
do you know
what is dawning
as a torchlight on the silver glass
of your soul?
Does your heart like mine
throb with words
crying out to breathe life
into the darkness of your world
and for once,
be understood by all?

If our words could stand up
and dance in the light
of a moon shining on love
they could be loud enough
for others to learn.
Until everything said
played out in a scene of seconds
full of trust, never ending
or needing
to be discerned.

My heart speaks the language
that your heart understands.
Our thoughts
are one and the same.
Your heart too,
speaks the language 
my heart understands.
Each of our words
cries out to breathe life
into the darkness,
oh......
if only they could dance.

Author's Note

For my dear friend in India Maini Sk I generally am known to write poems of romance. Not this one...this is about the universal language of love and trust and peace that is in all the hearts of mankind. If we only try to listen to one another perhaps our words will dance.

The language of love is complicated yet simple and can be said without saying a word. YOu are a a master of romantic verse.

Wonderful poem! I loved it!

[Jack Isaac]

And if they could dance it would be a tango because it always takes two... all things are connected, hearts, and the thoughts that bubble up from the pools of such crimson iridescence. And I think this way as read this because your words bring out colors from the darkness... difficult to describe, but like those star nurseries we see in science magazines. As the eyes are a window to the soul, the eye lids must be a mirror, for when I close them I see a reflection of myself. Never realized that until now. Thanks so much.

This was a brilliant, beautiful poem, and so true.

[Coyote Poetry]

When two people find the same path and want the same things. Fireworks of true love can be birth. The true dance of love leave us yearning to repeat the nights and days again. Thank you for the outstanding poem. Made me wander to good days.

I like this love. Though romantic expression is important it is easier than this. To be clear about our feelings in a non-sexual way is more difficult. Perhaps that is why so many stick to only romantic writing. I really enjoyed reading this.

How magical it could be to find that special person who knows you so well that you dont need to waste time with words. You bare your soul and never allow fear to stand in the way of expressing such beautiful emotions. Now that is love.

[Gomer LePoet]

Neva, I think the common man or woman of every culture, tongue, history feels that way. It is the power hungry leaders that create the gaps in out hearts out of fear. man of this earth does speak the language when given the chance.
