Volumes of Silence

 

 

Completely unawares I was,

As the flat palm of my hand

Massaged my neck repeatedly

And slid surreptitiously

Beneath the faded cotton of my robe

 

It seemed to have a mind of its own,

Wandering where ever it would,

Divorced from the reality of my mind

Whilst singing its own sweet song

To the tune of my latent wants

 

It kneaded and roamed

Around the nape, sliding beneath

The fragrant weight of my hair

Cupping it boldly, straying

To tap the sensitive shape of my lobe

 

Oblivious of this journey I was

Till someone smilingly observed

That the voyage though innocently bold

Spoke volumes with its silence

Coaxing an underlying thirst to unfold…
