Don't Tell Me...Show Me

 

 No truer words have ever resonated with Me quite as much as these do... 

Words, words, words, I'm so sick of words.
I hear words all day through first from him, now from you.
Is that all you blighters can do!

Don't talk of stars burning above, if you're in love, show me.
Tell me no dreams filled with desire, if you're on fire, show me.
Here we are together in the middle of the night, don't talk of spring just hold me tight.
Anyone who's ever been in love'll tell you that this is no time for a chat.
Haven't your lips longed for my touch, don't say how much, show me, show me.

Don't talk of love lasting through time, make me no undying vow! Show me now!

Sing me no song, read me no rhyme, don't waste my time, show me.
Don't talk of June, don't talk of fall, don't talk at all, show me.
Never do I ever want to here another word, there isn't one I haven't heard
Here we are together in what ought to be a dream, say one more word and I'll scream!
Haven't your arms hungered for mine, please don't explain, show me, show me.

Don't wait until wrinkles and lines pop up all over my brow! Show me now!

 

   Promises of devotion, platitudes of service, titillating passages spouting rhyme or reason to make Me think you're deserving of My time.... while they all serve to amuse and delight Me they fade away with no depth or breadth when your actions don't show that they are true and steadfast.  

   Words I've heard before, again and again, from this one and that but they never pan out, they never ring true.  Words inspire life and love but without air breathed into them they always seem to fall rather flat.

     Don't tell Me of your undying need, don't promise Me your unyielding faithfulness.  Don't flatter Me with sonnets or songs.  Don't use words unless they have meaning.

Don't Tell Me ... Show Me

 

 

And now... The Big News you've been waiting for!!!
