The Written Face of Love

My love for you I carry in my heart A growing ache, albeit tender, sweet For from my body you are miles apart My words like tender kisses sent to greet Each letter and each thought with love is tied Poetic lines immersed in passion’s hue The secrets of your heart in them confide My messengers of love sent out to you Dear heart, be sure to read between the lines At times a message stronger there you’ll find Wild fantasies encrypted in these signs My paradise you’ll enter with your mind Who dares to doubt the written face of love Has never flown on words to heights above For Heather Ober's Favorite Forms Contest
