A silent rhythm
Beckoning beats lingering one to the next
Its warmth a soothing touch
Like whispered promises between fingertips
Oblivious to the world outside their union
Compelled by this subtle song
Submitting to its seductive call
Reaching blindly out
A willing prisoner to a softly beating heart

There isn't a bit of me that doesn't carry you
Like a glistening balloon, when the skies stand sullen
Your name, but a whisper no one will hear
A secret that soft escapes my lips when all else is silent

Tidal currents crash within your irises
Siren lights glisten upon succulent lips
Provocative scent permeating all around you
Delicate fingers gently caress luscious flesh
Addicted to the rushing rhythm of a beating heart
Pulled by resonant ballads of a delicate soul
Drawn by lilting cadences of tender whispers
A subtle allure, an enticing, enchanting grace
An elegant masterpiece dancing across the landscape of our lives

The rain trickles down the windowpane
An unsure sentiment from the atmosphere
Hanging heavily from rose petals as they dance
With each new drip, every fallen drop
The water static singing sweetly in the dark

Savor these ordinary moments
Little everyday treasures
Curved lips and playful fingertips
Simple guilty pleasures
Stolen in the passing minutes
That lead us through the endless

I feel your presence surround me
Like ethereal fingers caressing my stillness
A sweet promise of sanctuary
And soothing ambiance
In hidden murmurs
That I am home

Swallowed by these empty promises
Choking on the bitter words
Sinking in the looming silence
Frozen by these empty hearts
Choking on distant memories
Sinking in the desolate haze
Staring through these empty eyes
Choking on the unseen tears
Sinking in the quicksand void
Walking through these empty rooms
Choking on the dusty air
Sinking in the heavy gloom
Alone, and empty
