Words Are Most Beautiful

Between love’s first glance and passion’s kiss,
Words fill the void, the space.
Impatient note transferred in class;
a clumsy, tearstained sonnet wrote
when ‘I love you’ seemed not enough;
the witnessed promises we made;
then whispered amatory kept.
The indescribable described.

Terry, I loved the entire poem, especially these phrases "indescribable described", "clumsy, tearstained sonnet". Words are most beautiful - what a great title! Best wishes ~

Congratulations, dear poet , for your placement in this poetry contest with a realistic poem on love of youth. Still remembering the days of youth. Nay, words of love are for all ages! Love is not restricted to age.Wish you a pleasant week.
