In Plain Sight

In Plain Sight

A hundred words
A thousand more 
Oh,  won't just be  enough
Will not match up to the sensation in between
The ecstasy covering the whole lot of miles between
So their tongues tied,
And their lips failing to comprehend their minds,
Silence.

Love  taking them into a tiny cubicle 
Befitting only them two,
So they are both stuck in a trance -
A world where a ticking clock is unknown

He's listening
She's listening

She won't hear the screeching brother
He won't hear the radio on blast 

She hears his  serenade whistle through her pane
He hears the echo of her  giggle pass from Milky Way , Andromeda ,to Antennae.

He's there
She's there

I hear his beating heart
I see her cheeks turn pink

So they are content
What they feel doesn't need a dozen more words
Worlds apart
Forces intertwine 
Heart to heart
When push comes to shove
They are in love
