Love Prose

there i was going through all that stuff
came across those love notes
full of eloquent writing
had to laugh a little as i read them

as you know
words are just words
written or spoken
many times without meaning
rehearsed or read from a book
with a need to turn the page
to continue the conversation

lord knows i have heard them all
probably could write a book myself
adding a few new lines along the way

you tell me you are a man of little words
that you can't recite love prose to me
or dazzle me with romantic settings

but i do know  
all you need to be is who you are
your kisses are all the love prose that i need
to roll of the tip of your tongue
your touch dazzles me in a romantic setting
causing me to beg for more as you conduct
the symphony of my tones to a music that we play

i have learned long ago
the hard way of course
that words are just words
falling to a deaf ear
or the need to read between the lines
to tell the real meaning

but actions
speak louder than any words may ever say
and baby
your actions tell me
all the love prose
i will ever need to hear
