louder still in silence

your tender lips, 

when peeled away,

tore my flesh out with them

your hunger,

crushing onto my chest,

left

a hollow pain,

a crevice where your body lay.

I find the place

you 

dove dove dove

headfirst 
for my soul

perhaps the hole already there

you simply found so fast

and slipped right down.

and now,

its emptiness more pronounced

~~

but still,

the lighter touch remains much longer.

the grazing of your fingertip
along my cheek

lighter.... lighter


curling down my back

weaving... weaving

around my tender neck.

the more you are gone

the more the memory

entangles around.

my breath 

becomes

shallow... shallow.

the echo of your touch

is Louder 

still in silence.
