Poems from
"Virtual White Orchids"

I Listen Carefully

I listen carefully when love is said
and hear the how and not how much.
Big seas and lofty mountains led
to vast assumptions, leave no touch.

A few good words of simple worth
say every feeling love conceives.
We cry aloud on shiny earth
for tones one loving voice achieves.

But I love you and you hear noise
in my best words of love forever.
I give you my most honest joys
to mollify your silent never.

Hear anything, what I know is true.
You will love me as I love you.
