Sonnet 1


He speaks his love to me in words unsaid;
For eyes and hands more eloquent remain,
When breath is lost and voice the throat has fled,
And must express what speech cannot explain.
His eyes -- captivate me beautiful! -- speak
A language clear. No shadow, no darkness
Could dim that light, fade it from strong to weak.
Bright words from twin orbs -- lips must remark less!
His hands communicate with subtle charm
The passion inscribed deep in heart and mind.
Any sound would mar with unheard of harm
And take away expression great in kind.
More poetry in silent tongues is found
Than in verse, frightful loud, which makes no sound.
