IN SILENCE

And though you danced
No music played.
It was all in your head.

I played along
Swayed and dipped
And held you so close.

Your dress was sheer
Each move like ripples.
And sparks crossed between us.

And when it stopped
The rhythm of the silence,
We kissed starving lips.

Fingertips numb
From holding on too long
Our hearts using up all the air.

And in your eyes
Were all the songs
We danced to in silence.
