Words I'Ve Never Spoken
Words I’ve never spoken
are those I’ll never write,
like words that might recall
the glow I felt one night. . .
One choice lifetime’s fragment
I took for paradise. . .
a time for which my memory
alone cannot suffice.
One summer’s whispered end. . .
your feel, your touch, your scent,
your lashes on my cheek,
the pure enrapturement. . .
your hands and hair like silk,
your pause to gaze on me -
they seem more an illusion now
than past reality.
Refrain:
Words I’ve never spoken
are those I’ll never write,
like words that might recall
the glow I felt one night. . .
No words can bring to life
the fleeting ghost of you.
You haunt my empty hours;
there’s nothing I can do,
for if you think of me,
I guess I’ll never know.
And how you made me thrill
no words can ever show.
Refrain:
Words I’ve never spoken
are those I’ll never write,
like words that might recall
the glow I felt one night. . .
