Verbatim

Words -

A woman’s words

An oracle’s words

A writer’s words

A poet’s words

A lover’s words

... Unspoken words

A conversation -

          Between men

Amongst women

Sweet nothings of lovers

With an imaginary friend

With myself

With a god

Secrets -

Of a smile

Those conspiring within your mind

Those locked in a woman’s heart

... and Cryptic clues

    To guide the Chosen One

   To sally forth and claim his just rewards

Signs and Messages –

The tapping of fingers

Fidgety feet

An imperceptible nod

The brush of an arm

A subdued come hither

Legs crossing,

           And uncrossing...

Wanton ways

Wanton gaze

An intense stare

 ... And the message conveyed

          just by a look.

Sounds -

The abandon of a baby’s gurgle

Mirthful laughter

Peaceful snore

Foreboding rumblings

Piercing cry

... An unsaid goodbye

Are understood.

Would lose meaning,

Verbatim...
