Love At First Sight Poem by Tom Billsborough

Love At First Sight

Rating: 5.0


Her eyes speak first of love
Her lips begin to move
Half-parted but retain
The immanence of silence.
The mute refrain
Repeated in the downward glance
A blush's dalliance.
If words are spoken
They may break the spell
Of our compliance.
It is well
To pause, absorb the mutual signals,
The immanence of silence,
The mute refrains, the precious moments.

Sometimes that pause before speaking is more beautiful than words. A very nice comment from one of my favourite poets.

I was trying to capture that unspoken moment. Hope it seemed real. Must check your site. Don't think I've read any of yours. Very remiss of me. Thank you for your kind comments.
