K. V. Skene
Stay near
Stay near, I hear your heart’s hushed melody –
I looked for love and you were standing there.
Your silence whispers loud enough for me.
No Valentine, romantic poetry,
you stopped to talk, then softly touched my hair.
Stay near, I hear your heart’s hushed melody.
I’ve run away and lost accordingly
and won because you bet your life I’d share
your silence – whispers loud enough for me.
Unboastful gambler, you juggle jeopardy.
Call – I’ll follow any time or where.
Stay near, I hear your heart’s hushed melody.
Always gentle, too often fancy-free
and sometimes shy but never unaware
your silence whispers – loud enough for me.
Soft summer kisses, picnics by the sea,
(if love is held too tight it’s hard to bear).
Stay near, I hear your heart’s hushed melody,
your silence whispers loud enough for me.
