Dumb Words
Dumb words, Which may never reach you, my love,
But which I would still wordlessly
Will with all the strength of my soul
To be conveyed to you –
Words of love
Of gratitude for your love,
Of joy for the gift of you,
‘Cos I could never have legitimately earned you,
Of joy for your existence,
Of prayer for your well-being,
Of prayer for your being.
If naught else then,
Of profound hope,
And a burning desire
That all possible happiness in the world
Would distill itself
And fall into your cupped palms.
