Silence in the night

love, passion, silence, teardrops, shallimarRose, poetry

silently, 

I come to you in the night

when only the crickets see

my gentle cooling hands

speaking in soft whispers

my fingertips trace lightly

the lines of your face 

 open your eyes 

and see only me

a single teardrop falls

tracing a path to your mouth

 leaning in I taste my own tears

with a kiss to your wanting lips

our bodies trembling

as we touch 

for the very first time

in a moment of silence

Your words reveal the depth of emotion we may feel as we find one who moves us to the point of tears. I find you description of this encounter to be very sensual and romantic!
