Silence Says a Thousand Words

Silence says a thousand  words
about joys that filled our past
and fair youth upon my lips
that once owned your stolen kiss
Can you hear  me ?

Oh those lips that touched my own
like a first petal in bloom 
Floral accents 've been long gone
since that pale October moon

Silence says a thousand words 
about joys that filled our past
and fair youth upon my lips
that once owned your stolen kiss
Can you hear me ?

There's a place you can return to
If your seamless thoughts turn blue
You will never wander lonely
My perfume will linger through

Once again we'll find sweet laughter
It's lost echo in the sand
Once again I'll read your love note
that lies  crumpled in my hand.

Silence says a thousand words
about joys that filled our past
and fair youth upon my lips
that once owned your stolen kiss
Can you hear me ?

so beautiful, Charma and the way your repeated the principal lines, which helps us interpret the title. This is so lyrical. I see how you put it as a lyrical poem. Thanks for what you said on my poem about religion. You are a dear.

Spoken words are sometimes not enough to express what we truly feel and mean. Silence speaks louder than words! Lovely romantic lyrics! [This reminds me of my song "Words are not enough" sung by Tiziana Calleja.] ~~ paul

The thousand words of silence converge on the deep reflection of the times we treasure from moments lived and shared...my first thought after reading your poem
