Charlie Smith Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

The Silence of Her Eyes

I fell in love with the silence of her eyes-
those unspoken pleasures
no one else has ever seen,
like the intoxicating placidity
of fine red wine
or the noiseless footsteps
of lingering thoughts that can't be stilled.
Words could make no sense of it..
the silence explained everything.
