When the Silence Came

When the silence came
I forgot your name

Because I was stunned,

By the radiance of your smile
By the quiet-breathing of your soul,
That joined with mine for-just-awhile...

You know I couldn't move...
But only listen,

To the rhythm of your heartbeats
as they would glisten,

next to me...

When the silence came
I wanted just-to-freeze
every
single
frame

Inscribe inside my heart
The letters of your name

And then the silence became
more still
As both our souls
were filled...

Especially when we kissed
Because our lips
they never missed

Covering every curve...

We both realized we were caught
in this slow-motion-passion-place

The gentle sunlight
enveloping
both our bodies
As we held each other
and embraced

Our heartbeats ever-softly-tapping
Like they were busy-mapping

The road...

That led from my heart back-to-yours
And your heart back-to-mine

So when the silence
would come again,
We'd know exactly
where to find,

Each other...
