Words Unspoken

He held my hand, not one word was spoken

Then a ring he offered as a token

     He could not ask for marriage

     For fear I might disparage

His eyes conveyed sentiments unspoken




* Entry for Adeleke's "Unspeakable Love" contest

Lovely ~Carolyn~ as ever... Be so wonderful if Dane Ann and yourself get to come over, if we know in advance if necessary we could even meet you if not more than couple of hours away as I am having some problems travelling (fluid-legs). Both know you are more than welcome to base here few days... ;D So excited! Fingers legs and all crossed! lol.
