Love is an unwritten absence
from the scripted page
It's the whispered confession spoken
in the unmeasurable realm 
between the eyes of lovers
as they cross the bridge beyond written words
where the beating heart of two sparrows
are caught in the winds of love
as they travel through the invisible paradise
of shared elixer that intoxicates the blood and brain
to become a formless, shapeless living thing

Where passion is weaned on expectations
and weighed by the soul as to its substance
of whether it is worthy to be a precious gift of beauty
beyond any measure...to be called love
Only then can words be written in poetic script
upon the page
