Language – VJs Weekly Challenge

The folded resistance of your arms
speaks a volume loud enough for
my eyes to hear,
a clear signal of
your fullness,
there is no room for
my confection of words that
in yesterday’s moods
were understood,
floating so lightly
now leaden,
grasping,
sinking.

Felt this Paul. Open or closed attitude is a force – body expressed.

That’s an important lesson to learn about relationships. The spoken word can imply acceptance or giving in to another, but the body language is totally resistant. The eyes can speak volumes also with micro-expressions of hidden emotions. Love the words, “a clear signal of your fullness.”

Thank you so much Olga, yes, if only more people would read body language and factor it in, it would change things.
