No Need For Words

Oh my! How delicious was my Sunday morning -
My lover, he gazed deep into my sleepy eyes 
In silence, he held my gaze in silence
For what seemed like aeons, 
He brushed back my hair in silence
He caressed my bare shoulder - in silence
Two souls became one in silence,
There was no need for mere words, 
Our eyes did the talking.
It was a transcendental moment,
He was me, I was him, silent salty tears
Of pure unadulterated joy trickled
Down my cheeks, I knew in that moment
If I ever get to be in God's tender embrace 
Behind those pearly gates, it sure won't
Better that sweet moment in my lovers embrace.

"Love is when you look into your loved one's eyes 
and go all the way into their soul, and you both know... instantly."
