Shhh

Quite often
we spoke in
bashful tones

too afraid our tongues
might loosen the coupling
they so clearly preferred
over words

but oh, how silence
chose not to condign
and our flame
eventually
flicked the air
with it's hot temper

all those sentiments
swirling
like some sort of
deranged breeze
that tangles
even the most
lily-white intentions

no language
needn't be said

so we made love instead
