Silence stirs into the room

And in a split second

Something beautiful happens:

Falling into one another,

We kiss,

But not just any kiss,

A kiss that feeds my hunger,

Fills my heart.

A taste that lingers--

Caressing,

teasing.

You stand, hold out your hand;

An invitation to dance.

Silhouettes engage under pearlescent moonlight,

Embraced with patience: soul and mind,

Entwined, connected, fixed, sublimed.

You draw me in, closer still.

The pulse of our hearts, like drumsticks,

Beat to the same tune.
