Poetry Wednesday: Her Language (A poem about love for someone who loves someone else)

He spoke it
But with his eyes
Those eyes
They pierced into her consciousness
Searched her soul, and knew her
They told her she will forever be his even if she was miles away.
He would stare at her for seconds
But that was enough, it told him everything he already knew.
The softness of his lips made her tongue to dance
It was like the intertwining of rose petals, natural in its motion
Divine in its extraordinary simpleness
The way he held her so lightly while she lay on his tattooed chest
Made her feel even more protected from the world
She lost track of reality and her heart  smiled  (more after the cut)


To her,
He was beautiful
So perfectly sculpted, the flaws made perfect sense
He was a kind man, a buzz, an emotion of its own
He gave her feelings, till this day she cannot demystify
She swore she was insane, totally mad
She was obsessed with the entirety of his being
She was fascinated by the thoughts in his head she knew not
She was caged by his charm, screaming everything she wanted and longed for eternally
With him, she was in a moment that will last forever in her mind
She was safe, she was happy, she was alive
He was not the type to be expressive
But his blank face said it all.
He was her yin, she was his forever
But life came and gave him lemons.
