Silent Music

This is a moment,
when words between us
are stray bricks on a smooth road.

Pointless, and difficult to speak,
when the tongue is kissing,
hands conducting
last chords of a rapturous aria.

An audience of heartbeats
listens as silence drops.

Skin tracing fingers
become curtain calls,
that echo on into the night.
