I gaze into the pool of natural colors gleaming under his glasses.
The mixed hues of foliage and bark, with hints of the sun shining through,
speak warmly to me, Come Hither, and Follow Me.

I search but find no reason not to go with him.
In his kind orbs, I see the span of my life before me.
To the left, my past now in repair,
To the right, my future is now bathed in his vision of magic.

His eyes speak so loudly but without words.

I close my eyes and feel his soft lips paint our love on the canvas of my face.
He brushes on the same familiar pattern each time.
First my eyes in blue, next one cheek, then the other in green, then my nose in purple,
and finally, he paints my lips a deep crimson red, completing his phrase, I Love You.

Each new masterpiece he paints,
knocks down a piece of the barricade I have built around my heart.
Allowing me to both give my whole self to him
and receive him wholly in return.

His lips speak so loudly but without words.

I feel heat grow where his fingers touch my skin.
Such a simple yet powerful gesture.

A light graze across my back as he ushers me into a room,
or a stronghold at my elbow, to pull me away from danger,
and all touch in between says,
I am your protector.

His touch speaks so loudly but without words

I light up when he shines his beaming smile on me.
His grin boasts a new idea every time I see him.
And with it, comes a glimmer that I pray never fades.

In the morning, that smile reminds me
I will never face a new day alone.
At dinner, that smile reminds me
I am blessed to have this man in my life.

His smile speaks so loudly but without words

And tonight, as I lie next to him in the bed,
his presence talks to me if I but listen.
His eyes tell me that he is my new beginning.
His lips tell me that we are home.
His touch tells me that I will never know harm.
And his smile tells me that his love is forever. 

This is what he speaks to me, with no words at all.
