“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
