Dormant Love When Lives Again

What never was rued when was said, 
And even what no one did say 
When strangely did hurt them today, 
Fire in love had to show its red. 
When stirring heart was laid afore, 
And words of lips sweet nothing said, 
But wispy eyes vaguely conveyed, 
It reached straight to the deepest core. 

Heart hears the hinted never said—
Even the faint stirrings of flesh, 
Quiescent love if glows under ash,
Eyes tend to read the intended. 
   For, true remorse helps love endure, 
   As dormant love works out the cure.

Poet’s note: The twosome had had their differences. Their heart was willing, mind, not so sure to forget the past, but love triumphed to endure.
