She whispers poetry in a language

only felt………not heard

Where ink bleeds across the page

changing words to feelings

and sentences to heartbeats

She whispers love in a language

that knows no simple explanation

Charming readers with a sirens tongue

Mourning what comes from a lifetime of heartbeats

Words may one day be forgotten

as the pages turn to dust

and crumble through wrinkled fingers

but a gentle handprint forever felt

where it touched his heart
