Night Song

in the enfolding velvet of the darkness
the deepening embrace of night
and even as the cold outside deepens

into the warming weighted silk of these sheets we slide
sharing the language of touch alone
lips shaping the tongue of movement
speaking the tongues together only we ever understood

again and within
the heady slide of skin on skin
the unrelenting insistence of kisses

we are mute but for the small sounds
the sigh, the moan, the ache
losing the words
in the melody
