Whispers in the Quiet Night

The room is bathed

in the soft glow

of moonlight slipping

through parted curtains.

Silhouettes dance

on the walls, shadows

of two souls entwined.

Your heartbeat echoes

against my chest,

a gentle drum

matching the rhythm

of the falling rain outside.

We breathe as one,

each sigh a melody

only we can hear.

Fingertips trace

the map of your skin,

every curve and line

a journey I've longed

to take. Eyes meet,

and in that gaze,

unspoken words

find their voice.

Why does time stop

in moments like these?

I wonder as the world

fades away, leaving

just us, suspended

between breaths,

lost in the warmth

of each other's embrace.

The night wraps around us,

a velvet cloak,

holding the secrets

we share. Outside,

the stars blink softly,

but here, in this space,

we've captured

our own piece of heaven.

Hold my hand,

let's linger a while,

savoring the silence

that speaks louder

than any sound.

In the quiet,

we find ourselves,

together, whole,

a flame against

the darkness.

Morning will come,

but for now,

let's exist

in this endless moment,

where nothing else matters

but the tender touch,

the whispered words,

the simple truth

of you and me.
