In Silence

in silence
in the cool of the evening breeze
I gazed at you with insatiable intent
emotions igniting actions overriding sensibility
I reached out to hold you as close as is scientifically possible
anxiously awaiting
as the tips of my fingers slowly investigated the nape of your neck
the smoothness of your shoulders
the curves of your back
reporting its pleasures to my brain

in silence
amidst star induced illumination
with unmistakable intent
my lips searched for yours
finding the tenderness spoken of centuries ago in Shakespearean
and Ovidean sonnets

in silence
in the warmth of the moment
I loved you without regret or resignation
exploring all of you
enjoying the slow
blissful voyage
afraid that you would vanish in the next instant

in silence
while you sat there
I
in silence
held you close
in silence
experiencing the tenderness of your lips against my own
in silence
experiencing your love
until the morning light found us peacefully at sleep
in silence
experiencing all of this
while you sat there
never knowing what I was experiencing in the reality manufactured in my mind
all
in silence
