No Words
Savoring those moments
when emotions spill over,
yet words fail me;
Reminiscing over events
akin to the barren seeds
of an unwritten love song.
My eyes caress your skin,
admiring its sun-kissed contrast
against the white sheets;
and I trace the length of your torso –
pausing to appreciate the contours
of each muscle along the way.
Whispers of shallow breaths betray
the ache of my body’s anticipation
at the thought of yours next to mine.
Time holds no importance
as I languish over a moment,
where nothing else but you exists.
Feelings as deep as the ocean
trapped just below my skin,
simmer in defiance of description.
Fearing that were I remiss to acknowledge
the power of their existence,
they would be forever lost.
