V: The moment’s upon us.
M: The heavy sigh,
the lazy eyes.
V: Your head rests gently
on my shoulder;
M: so gently.
V: I reach for your hand
with my own
M: and it’s clasping now,
like mine.
V: Trailing fingers,
M: brushing palms;
V: exploring.
M: And not a word is spoken.
Our hands say more
V: and yet more still,
M: ignorant of the truth,
V: of the danger...
M: every knock on the door,
every ring on the phone;
V: silence.
M: Hiding from the visitor.
V: Hiding from truth.
M: We lay hidden
beneath our breathing;
V: our hands, indifferent.
M: The heavy sigh,
V: the telling eyes,
they see it all;
M: desire,
V: guilt,
M: love.
V: One will preside.
M: Was this inevitable?
V: Perhaps.
M: Avoidable?
V: Perhaps.
M: Then why you?
Why me?
V: Right now,
I neither know nor care.
M: But done?
V: Most wonderfully.
M: Most passionately.
V: Most fondly.
M: The kiss was
V: perfect.
M: And the next and the next...
V: the moment’s upon us
M: and it’s now or never.
V: We enter a deeper danger,
M: the silence is broken
V: and our hands still speak
beneath our breathing.
