Poetry: Let Silence Speak Tonight
Night falls gently, You watch me move candlelight and shade; that familiar beauty Come closer— let silence speak tonight. fingertips say what lips conceal. Desire in your eyes, hunger in your touch. Your breath so warm against my skin. The bedroom door shuts there’s only us, the room dissolves, to only this: husband and wife together and alone. Softness behind your smile, familiar warmth of your skin. kissing, caressing, half-whispered laughter, tangled sheets our bodies moving in rhythmic tow. Our love burns ignite into a fire that defies death. With every touch you hold me gently kissing me fiercely gripping the arch on your bare back. You are satisfaction. All of my delight! Our reckless heat unfolds Slow, familiar murmurs yield way to bodily demands. We move as one, a storm inside our quiet house, My lover, my spouse the only man who has my heart. Bathabile Hattingh
