silent witness

it is not just you i love
but the way you have
crept
into all the empty spaces
the lonely places
the nooks and crannies
of my life

when i hear those
sighs and
unguarded moans
i am coated, drunk,
intoxicated

the dark strength that is you
shakes my inner core
you leave me empty
and aching for more
to fill
to feel
the lingering scent
the bed unmade
the pillows abandoned
bearing silent witness to
explosive passion
a nuclear power

the final trace of
your having been here at all
is a fading circle of passion
on the base of my neck
and the barest trace of your lips
where they brushed softly
against my breast

this act is silent

and although right now
i am solitary
i am never alone
