Thinking What You Don't Say

Filled with delicate reluctance, 
I see you differently.
I know and yet I wonder,
Just how you see me.
I thought we watched the ivy twine,
But was it on your walls or mine?

Marie Curie had a glow
That Einstein couldn't miss.  
But clever conversation
Cannot compare with this. 
In every silence that you spoke
Another brilliant newsflash broke.

A Yellowtail Shiraz
Turns a corner on my lips,
It is your taste that makes me smile
When progress halts and schedule slips. 
I'm sure that it was your arrival
That turned mere Existence to Survival.  

I didn't know how to hate you,
But I stopped you as you spoke
And softly though the words you breathed
I read the signals through the smoke.  
You etched your name in frozen time,
And I float here in suspense sublime.

Now abandonment holds no fear,
Though I have fretted for a year;
You slowly marched up to the helm
And ushered me to some new realm
Where imperfect puzzles ring so true
And there's a day for me and you.
