Love Poem: The Shared Air

The Shared Air

Souls like these breathe sweet release
  inhaling each others air
Falling locks sweep over your frame
  encasing you in this moon soaked room
Soft scent of perfume...lingers from you
  my pillow will sing of your absence
Tracing sinew with felt tip fingertips
  you draw invisible words on my chest
Thoughtful gazes say more than pass our lips
  no words for these moments that go without saying

Your chest rise and fall calming 
 soft tones of speech echo in silence 
Captured by each others arms, drifting slowly
  we talk now in murmurs, trailing off
My fingers run through your silken hair
  rhythmically calming us both
Fading at last to a sweet lovers sleep
  inhaling each others air
