Silent Meeting


Incomplete silence attending our meeting
My heart clearly pounding a thunderous beating
No uttering words, yet my ears hear a riot
Of sounds from nature, not the least bit of quiet

Nervous and jittery energy abound
Watching for your approach, the corner you round
The tree overhead making thundering applause
The wind through leaves most likely the cause

In those ticking seconds nothing is said
Not a single thought except to clear my head
Inhaling deeply, I catch your essence
Thereby quite happy to feel your presence

Our lips touching slightly, ever so calm
Soft and tentative, much as a balm
Two tongues testing timidly, nervous, in haste
Enough to introduce your pleasing taste

Happiness suddenly crowding my head
And knowing completely, no reason for dread
Instantly having a comfortable feeling
Two souls shall unite, begin the unpeeling

Held firm in your arms, my heart taking flight
The feeling inexplicable yet constant and right
From here possibilities seem endless and true
I’ll always remember the first meeting of you.
