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.

Beautiful Neva

Brilliant! And so true. If we could somehow just erase all the hatred and greed from society and human kind our world could be a much better place. But there are some born with little compassion for others.

This is love - pure, eternal and trustworthy. I loved the way you have penned down the idea of words of love which dispel the darkness in our hearts. Beautiful.

Still it rings almost romantic:)
How are you Lady Neva, been quite a while
this piece is just fascinating particularly the first stanza. personally I agree with what it states'...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.....

so true

This is wonderful. My greatest wish is to find a woman whose heart shares the language of mine, and we can speak to each other in words only we can understand. That's got to be the most beautiful part of this poem--in my view, that's a hallmark of true love; or at least, as close to true love as a human being can get in this world. As usual, your work is gorgeous and exquisite, and I've just run out of words to describe it further--it's that good. Literally.
[Sometimes an awed silence is the best review one can give. That's what I've got for this piece; your words have moved me to silence. I want to say so much more, but I can't find the words. For a writer like me to run out of words, well . . . that's a testament to how good this is!!]
If anyone can take honest, pure love and paint it on paper, it's you, ma'am! :)
