“Some kisses speak louder then words ever could” 
Quote by poet 


    Your shadow leans close… I… I freeze
   No words, just heat pressed here, crawling, creeping
      Lips hover, almost teasing… almost mine
Heart jumps… chest tight… stuck in the pause, stuck

Time drags, sticky, heavy, holding us… hmm 
  Your hand brushes mine… tingling, I can’t move
Hush folds around, warm, curling, stubborn, soft
     Breath trembles quietly… along my ribs 

Hair tangles, pressing… shoulders brushing, close
 Soft fire slides, shakes, curls…curls through my veins
A kiss too loud… for silence to hold…tonight 
   It lingers, burns, leaves traces I… I can’t shake

      I swallow, shiver… feel it in pieces
Frozen, trembling… trembling, wanting, wanting more
    This quiet screams… writes itself on my lips
       A silent kiss… lingering, too loud… too alive
