What I remember most
is the silence.
Bursting with expectancy
like the fullness of summer's end.
Ripe. Fecund.
A breathless pause before the urgency of harvest.
Poised on the edge of ecstasy to come.
Maybe.
A rich, tender, gathering of emotion
that goes beyond tears.
What I remember most
is the silence

*

What I remember most
is the silence.
The aftermath of passion
shattered by the highs and lows
of dark desires.
The hardness of a hand following the curves of my belly,
smoothing damp strands of hair from my face.
Gentling.
Stilling
the faint tremble of spent flesh.
What I remember most
is the silence.

*

What I remember most
is the silence
of a sunny afternoon.
My head in his lap.
His hand in my hair.
Drowsing in the comfortable quiet of understanding.
Not anticipating
or remembering.
Only the stillness of quiet being.

*

What I miss the most
is the silence.
