Silence, my love

Silence, my love
what is unspoken
has most meaning
though you cannot
hear a word
escape my quiet lips
listen closely
as you close your eyes
you'll hear my heart
beating
racing
to the rhythm of our
love
my breath
shorter and shorter
just to be this close to you
can you hear the romance
in the silence?
open your eyes
see the love
reflected in mine
brighter
brighter
lighting up my soul
they're windows you know
really and truly
into the depths of me
but you need not look
quite so deep
to realize
the passion within
a long embrace
pressed so close
to each other
...watch...
as i melt into you
speaking louder
than words can say
a kiss
halting speech
two pairs of lips
exchanging
more than we've
ever been able to say
my love, you see
words are so hollow
empty
of the fire
burning within
just black notes
in the music of our lives
my love sings
like a symphony
in the silence
you can see it
in my every move
and if you listen
close enough
my love
you can hear it
in my heart
listen closer yet
and you can ever hear
the beat
of the butterfly wings
dancing
around my heart
