THE SILENT KISS

His gaze penetrated into me

I could feel the stare in my bones

Falling into his deep chocolate eyes

I suddenly wished he were gone

Reading my every expression

His eyes searched every inch of my face

Not wanting him to touch me

He moved forward, closing the space

When our lips kissed

What force made me close my eyes?

What drew my arms around him?

I succumbed to his passion before I realized

After our lips separated

No voice did they impart

We held each other’s gaze

The silence sank, like music, on my heart

Not a word to be said

I left the passion where it needed to stand

Slowly I walked away
