Silence Reigns

Like many others, I’m using these crazy times that we’re in to think about what comes next for me, particularly in terms of my next relationship.

I’d like a supersized version of what I describe below… pretty please!

Silence Reigns

Silence reigns
No need or space for words
Gestures will do our talking
Looks, long and lingering
Primal urges, shared and multiplied
Our senses have the floor

Silence reigns
No place or time for games
Eyes locked, staring deep into each other’s souls
Witnessing and embracing the hunger seen there
Recognizing it, naming it
Calling it home

Silence reigns
Touch and taste and smell
Become our lingua franca
Falteringly at first
Speaking without words
Our actions do the talking

Silence reigns
I am you
You are me
Fervently conjoined, we are our rhythm
We are the music
In the space between the notes

Silence reigns
No need or space for words
Our breathing synchronized
As are our souls
Recognizing you, naming you
You are my home
