Barrier of Speech...Expounded

I understand you without translation

our passion for the other is a different language

 It transpires a difference even though there is a likeness

 of a difference

the language is a spiritual asset of hearts...souls

I never thought before of a barrier in people

smiles are the same

warmth is all heated and cold is...cold

flesh speaks alone by touch...feeling

hearts speak by knowing and sensing

warmth and familiar fuzziness

eyes speak with a knowledge that even minds can't comprehend today

they search souls and find paths

they realize before the brain that the heart speaks

no language barrier here

no wars can ever change the transportation of love in a pair of eyes 

reaching out for a soul

even a soft brush by a spirit on the sidewalk will freeze a smile

cause the heart to walk that same path again and again

 in search of that special language that isn't "spoken"

and for that brush that grabs the soul of the stranger

its intrigue..

the soul can feel what the mind cannot vision...

and it speaks.

We need no words

if you were in Grand Central Station

it would find you

the tender smile that sets a porcelain face apart in a crowd

a memory unshaken...

spoken in silence..

frozen in time and searched for the lifetime

I think you understand

I'm sure you do

The heart, soul or spirit doesn't need an interpreter

the words aren't what forms the bond.

This is a theme I can identify with particularly, almost peculiarly; again, beautifully written with depth and resonance. I'm glad I found you.

I KNOW this!
I know these heartfelt feelings!
The poems I wrote today, seem to manifest this way!
This is another Treasure I will savor, to re-read this Suzie, helps "ME" to put "MYSELF" back there again! WHERE? "I" need to be and need to go constantly lately, to help another, as this is my plan, the mission I have entered!
I love this poem and how it resonates to my heartfelt soul!
THANK YOU Sue!
MY SOUL IS SWEPT AWAY as my recent poems are beginning to display! This is bringing me further...Have a GREAT Day Sue!

Our instincts are stronger than our words. A simple body movement can launch a romance.

Here's winking at you...

Ab-so-lutely, Susan, in fact at times words can break that spiritual bonding before it can even begin to fuse together. You always seek that bond in your poetry. Never stop.
