When the Silence Came

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...
