What Did You You You You You You Not Say
WHAT DID YOU NOT SAY?
Such as velvet….
Violets…….
Heatedly
Sweetly-----
Suave
Sometimes funny
The Easter bunny
But most all pleasant
Smooth
Smiley
Wily
Witty
Surely she’s urban
Far from the big city
My roof is caving in and she says, “honey, there’s always plaster” and makes misery
no longer my master
And asks me to stop
“Just stop to think about ferrets, flamingoes and the fundamentals
Like fun, hon
It’s the kind of kindness her words express
sensibly
And I must admit
Sensually
The kind that gives a man no other choice
Oh, I’m sorry, didn’t you ask me to describe wistful wonder in one wondrous woman
Words captured
Sentences enraptured
Paragraphs, peaceful
An armistice in every word
A mutual surrender to each syllable
Two each with words she and I emphatically embrace
words of hers my heartbeats can trace
When words wend their way to wonder and a friend
Yet bearing the fact that this is a story with a biased end
He wrote with passion persuaded by a yearning to keep my pace in a silent race
She wrote with what he knew was written by a woman of genuine grace
And yet each voice is silent and they never even met face to face
