Silent Lyrics

He would
probe my
words

Run his
fingers
against my
lips

So he
could feel
every word
I had to say

...This is how we kissed...

Roses are red
violets are blue

The simplicity
within it
would rattle
his nerves
so deep
his tongue
would explore
the depths
of my
metaphors
until he
got to the
root
of better
concepts
and if I tried
to hide my ideas
fingers would clinch
against my chin
coaxing out
my innermost
demons verbally

Around him
I didn't even
own my own breath

Because he would
breathe for me
gather enough
air for us two
pacing my lungs
to the beat of hiakus
I would inhale
the alphabet
to only exhale
sacrilegious sonnets
exclaiming he was my deity
in different genres

And when
he'd touch me

Really touch me

My heart moved erratically
so it would murmur
broken stanzas
only he could decipher

And when we
made love
poetically
metaphorically
speaking

His hands would seek
refuge against my skin
molding his love into my pores
to then make me sweat
rivers of prose
dehydrating every inch of my soul
slowly injecting me
over and over with his love
liquid chaos venom impregnating me

Bedroom collaboration

Gestation

Throwing up hieroglyphics
and clumps of papyrus
morning sickness proving
how ancient our love could really be
star crossed lovers
I sat in Houston's lap
in a New York minute
big belly bliss sneezing lullabies
the way we'd stared
eye contact
became the silent lyrics
to our love song

I sang
"I love you"
while holding his hand

I love how you create your meaning with beautiful and powerful statements. The poem got stronger and better with each set of lines. I like the ending to the amazing poem. Thank you for sharing your outstanding poetry.
