Mute Lovers
There they go
A Lover and his Lass
They talk, they laugh.
Emanating no sound,
For theirs was a language
of gestures, through
dexterous movements
of fingers of their hands
used like trained dancers.
Expressing everything
those lovers would like to
share between them,
of moments of ecstasy.
and crack jokes even,
that I could perceive through
their laughter, that again
give off no sound
For theirs was a language
of gestures......................
Now I see them in
each other's arms,
in a deep embrace
A moment of emotional
union of a man and a woman
who though mute
yet love each other
with perfect understanding
of each other's mind expressed
through a language of their own.
Love in silence articulately choreographed
by each other, like true professional dancers
their they go
A Lover and his Lass,
Mute they are
Yet they make a great
pair of lovers who
seem to know each other
so well.
