Silent kiss - reversible poem

Soft moonlight on silent lips— 
a secret spark in midnight air. 
Our breath meets in quiet longing, 
a hush deeper than starlit stillness. 
Your touch blooms—petals of dusk unfurl, 
echoed in the pulse between our souls. 

This silent kiss is moonlight spilled— 
a pale river winding through still air, 
carrying the taste of rose-thorns and longing, 
soft as dew upon a lover’s skin. 

Your soul leans in, a petal whispering secrets, 
my heart folds like dusk over sleeping hills; 
no words needed—this thrum of contact, 
a hidden chord vibrating beneath quiet flesh. 

We speak in the language of sighs: 
the brush of eyelashes like wind-kissed lilies, 
a hush that blooms between us, 
delicate as frost upon a candle’s warmth. 

Here, in that breath-long pause, 
time slows to the pulse between us— 
each heartbeat, a ripple; each exhale, a vow 
etched invisible, yet felt in every vein.

Jay, So beautifully constructed with flowing and soft imagery. Every verse reminded me of the expression of mature, soulful love delicately expressed in your poem.
