"I closed my mouth and spoke to you in a hundred silent ways" - Rumi


You were there      and I was there
        no one else to interrupt our silence
          
Closing my mouth, I inhaled deeply
         the scent of your cologne
 Intoxication -  a sublime surrender of the sense
 as I let my fingers trace the path  my eyes had blazed
                            across your face
and you reciprocated, mirroring my touch
               as your lips and fingers lighted
 reverently     on my cheeks, my eyes, my mouth

The thrill of new love
               hung deliciously 
                               in beauty’s hush  around us
A hundred ways I must have touched your face
                  as a hundred kisses you were placing
      up and down my neck 
                        above and beneath my ear lobes

Silent shivers of anticipation made way  at last
for the softness of your sweet mouth  
                                                    on mine
                                                               

Young love, so wondrous, so fresh -
    you echo - silent still -
                               in the caverns
                                                  of my fondest recollections


I wrote this and posted it 5/8/15. I feel it is one of my best for romantic free verse. The title given us by a contest sponsor really inspired me because this is a true story, and it is exactly how I still feel many years later!
