A truly beautiful poem Ronald and wise as well.
Best wishes always,
from Kay.

One act of love is worth much more than a thousand aired out words
of casual talk, thank you for sharing this deep and beautiful poem Ron.

As a woman who is so tenderly loved by my husband, I can tell you that the words are nothing without those loving deeds. The words are nice to hear too. What a lovely poem, Ron

Ron, you got me at ‘putting the toilet seat down.’ I HAD to read on. . . the sincerity in this rings through, the first half musical and ribbony. The second half containing my favorite second-half line, “leaving you in loving hell.” This was an enjoyable share. Thank you ~~ djl

Your words would melt any girl's heart, Ron! You are one smooth "talker"!!

Hugs!

Jane

Very beautifully-written, Ron! I'm glad to know the romantic side of you.

Beautifully said. I'm reminded of a Toby Keith song that I'm particularly fond of where he hopes she understands what he means when he says, "Me, too" when she tells him she loves him. I personally turn a chary eye toward the sentiment. That's not to say that I always disbelieve it. There's just a lot that goes into my consideration when it's directed at me in any context. When offered sincerely and from the heart, there are no more sweeter words.

Salutations to Author Poet Ronald W. Hull.

Creativity and Bliss.

Sometimes one has to guess what the person wants to say with "I love you", when most people would say, "I love that dress of you..." and, "I love Pizza...".

It seems that collective language deafness is pandemic; and the indifference to the linguistic sublimity increases, inclusive among the ones that depend on the langauge as work tools.

As the great leading American Author Poet Aberjhani said, "What makes a poem important is not only its contents, but most of all, the vision it creates in the readers' minds."

"Haven't Told You" led me on a linguistic tour, and made think on the communication in romantic relations.

Always learning from the scrolls of Your poetic library, Author Poet Ronald W. Hull.

May You enjoy a pleasant weekend evening!

Reverent and appreciativelly,

A simple poem but packed with meaning. So true that the words can often fall flat, especially if they are not backed up by meaningful (loving) actions. Well said.

Beautiful, Ron. Love may be shown in more than words, but words sure help. If there were more "I love you" spoken in this world, we'd all be in a better place.
Have a blessed weekend:)

From the heart to the heart///well said!

Your words are from a man who has sincere feelings that are often expressed in poetry and short stories. Perhaps many see words as just words, but there are those who will find their physical reaction was generated by your words. That, to me, is the kind of action that allows universal reactions. So, although words can be limiting to some, in the hands of a talented thinker and heart-aware individual, such words will speak loud and clear actions resonating in the mind and heart of the listener or reader. An invigorating piece you've written here, Ron.
