The Unsaid

Eyes after a loss.
Mouth open in awe.
Deep lines on the face.
The lips like a saw.

A tear on the cheek.
The hair hanging down.
A knowing late look.
Made without a sound.

The lilt of a smile.
The gleam in the eye.
A telling eyebrow.
The lips of the shy.

And the look of love.
That's always enough!
