Silent words

The melody of unspoken words can only be felt...

When I look at your eyes, I can see my past

Which reminds me how the days went fast,

I often skip a beat looking at you

Because, you fill my life with a never ending hue,

The number of times our eyes meet…

I fear no man has faced such defeat

Mesmerized by beauty, I spoke not a word…

But the language of love was still heard

How I wished the distance between us would end…

Still, with you I have a lifetime to spend

O Lady born with a silver spoon

Ask and I shall give you the moon

 

Years rolled by with unspoken words

For here the silence ends…

I can hear the church bells ringing

And melodiously the choir singing …

Despite the gathering, our eyes meet

Wondering how life’s choices can be so discrete

With cheeks flushed like an autumn rose,

I watch you take your final vows…

Oh! What have I done, why do I feel so hollow?

Now I recognize my eyes buried with sorrow…

For there you stand with your soul mate

And, here amongst the crowd I’m cursing my fate…

Simply beautiful. A comprehensive poem. I felt the sadness that embodied each word, filled with longing and regret for a lost love one. I enjoyed reading it. Thanks for sharing!
