Silent Love

There is a love that does not speak
But gazes silently on the lover’s forehead peak
It rests in the knowledge that there is rest
In fewer words that remain caged in the breast
	
In its silence you will feel a calm
So soothing like cologne or a cooling balm
But to others it might seem to frustrate
The boredom leading one to berate

So my dear friend make your choice
A silent one or a garrulous voice
Whatever it be don’t break the vow
Till life is over accept with a gentle bow.
