Silence

In the silence between your breaths
I linger, dwelling on the many curves
Of your mind, of your skin, of your eyes
Watching them watch me and feeling
Like our eye contact is our souls
Hand to hand, dancing in a petal mindscape
Alongside a river and by bloomed trees
How accustomed we have become to these,
The moments that define us unspoken
In the silence we become more who we are
