I very slightly revised and re-titled this one for the free verse contest of Laura Loo. It was inspired by the quote above it and a contest around five years ago.

"I closed my mouth and spoke to you in a hundred silent ways" - Rumi
You were there and I was there.
There was no one else to interrupt our silence.
Closing my mouth, I inhaled deeply
the scent of your cologne.
Intoxication - a sublime surrender to the sense - filled me
as I let my fingers trace the path my eyes had blazed
across your face,
and you reciprocated, mirroring my touch
as your lips and fingers lighted
reverently on my cheeks, my eyes, my mouth . . .
The thrill of new love
hung deliciously
in beauty’s hush around us.
A hundred ways I must have touched your face
as a hundred kisses you were placing
up and down my neck and
above and beneath my ear lobes.
Silent shivers of anticipation made way at last
for the softness of your sweet mouth
on mine.
Young love, so wondrous, so fresh -
you echo - silent still -
in the caverns
of my fondest recollections
