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 Revised Feb 25, 2020 for Lu Loo's Free Verse On Love Poetry Contest
