When Silence Speaks
She softly smiled across the room.
I imagined the scent of her perfume.
All other sound completely faded.
My heart she had blissfully invaded.
The silent glances between us sought.
Captivating my every illusive thought.
I detected sadness in her lovely eyes.
Her gaze was directly at me, I realize.
From so far looking down at her hand.
Her beguiling look made me understand.
Her wedding ring shone to my dismay.
I wished to keep this silence at bay.
She smiled, turned and walked away.
Vanished from sight never seen again.
Wishing to see her, have no idea when.
Into my loving mind she often sneaks.
Its louder than words when silence speaks.
