Language of Love
I learned through the years
The different language of love
We have adopted
To understand each other
When there is no need for words
Silence conveyed more
When words were lacking at times
Facial expressions
Were enough to know your moods
Just by looking at your face
Your eyes are mirrors
Reflecting your emotions
You can't hide feelings
From me and my knowing eyes
All it takes is a brief glance
Sometimes you go out
When you hear me rave and rant
On domestic things
Which has prevented many
Collisions and arguments
Leaving me alone
To cool and collect myself
Then I wait for you
To come back and we patch up
Like nothing ever happened
Learning the language
Of love takes time to master
But it is the key
To lasting relationship
And enduring love affair

I identify with this so much, Summer... so so much! Thank you for sharing this part of your life, through such can we offer hope to others in their journey too. I know i never imagined mine turning into a love story long ago. Magic & miracles happen.

Indeed, and sometimes decades at that. Love ain't easy. Lovely poem.💝🌼

Dear S,
Beautiful write. I heard someone say once they didn’t want to work so hard in their marriage. I felt sad hearing it because I think marriage or long term relationships are designed to work harder. Else why take a VOW? Knowing your partners foibles and emotions is essential as well as knowing how to let them have them and manage your togetherness is vital and I adore how you’ve written this out. Lovely write. H🌷

I love this! Very simple and elegant!
Loved each and every stanza. Please keep writing like this because love has to be described in simple words I believe, so more people can connect to it. Having vast vocab is good but sometimes using basic words to describe and put so well is an art in itself.
Long way to go! Kudos to you!
Thanks for posting here so we could read it!

That was beautifully written, and very insightful, Summer!
Once we learn the subtle inflections, nuances, and social cues of another soul, we can love them deeper and lessen to fully understand them with no words necessary. It's a beautiful thing, and it's very endearing and sweet! Thanks for sharing :)

This resonates with me at a deeper (higher) level. When you spend years with one person you learn their body language, the differences in silence because the connection is so profound.
Beautiful work Summer. Bravo.
