Language Barrier
I couldn’t understand the language she spoke,

at least not all of it,

but the emotion pouring past her lips, 

the tears in her eyes, her clenched and shaking fists

enunciated more clearly,

Never Fazed By a Language Barrier
A friend once told me
How he was fascinated by me-
By how I could walk up to absolutely
Anyone and be their best friend,
Switch cultures like t-shirts

You are on!

He squared his jaw,
Looked masculine,
Shaped his eyebrows,
Smiled broadly,
And held out his arms!
No words were spoken,
But the body said,
I do love you,
