Silent

I wish to write in my yellowed page
Of finger-speak, touch-speak; tastes, textures, smells, oh, they all speak
In ascending crescendos of accord
But words, they remain silent today

Far away in a land of could've been
Your heart beats to the rhythm of mine
A hundred violins linger on a note 
An ancient hymn comes alive
But words, they remain silent today

Eyes tell stories from lives beyond
Of broken wings, pride and regret but arms!
Your arms pronounce an incensed spell 
And my book of life has a fresh new page
But words, they remain silent today

So come lets weave a language together
Pauses, silences, glances, fingertips
Your body burnishing verses in a script 
Created by mystics, music, you and I
But words, let then remain silent today

When our book is full, I will walk around
And passing each library in town 
Ask each page the meaning of love
But just, now, for now, in the clouds above
Words, let them remain silent today
