He reached for me
with silent ink stained fingers
and patient, intense eyes
Without sound
Without murmurs
he simply reached into the distance between us

All around us pages fall like fading whispers
Written words scatter
like our good intentions

No noises to break the silence
no breathing
no denying
Just his will
bending mine

His beautiful eyes see in me things I never knew
His beautiful mind understanding me like I've always wanted
and always feared

Will I pull away
as I always have
Or will I be touched
like I've always wanted
He doesn't know
and neither do I

But, what I do know...

He reached for me
without sound
without murmurs

And I waited
not breathing
or denying

With just an ever shortening distance between us



If I don't say it...who will?

sometimes there's no need for breathing as it only breaks the silence

Love this poem and your pic too
