Words Fail

Words fail sometimes,

But love doesn't.

A kiss here and there,

Shining eyes and sweetness

So breakthrough

Where reason passes cold.

Argument fodders disagreement.

Metaphor’s lost in translation.

But I’m telling you,

Warm love

Heats to the boiling point,

Where all of matter changes.

Every element has its limit,

Then each atom re-arranges.

And this much is true—

Even the coldest fish

Relaxes, unfolds with ease,

And longs to be loved

And begs for it, pleading,

“Now, unwrap me please!”

Yes! That what a little honest,

Warm love will do!
