That Thing

That thing we both know
It’s shivering upon our lips
Words on edge
A gentle nudge

Eyes express it

Hide and seek
We play
We meet
Sometimes open
And yet so discreet

That thing we both know
It lingers in the air
Looking down
Peek up and stare
Cover my eyes
Intoxicating glare

That thing we both know
It’s written all over
Invisible ink
It’s just a feeling
You think?
Uncover it with a mere blink

That thing we both know
The world knows
It floats soundless
Yet breathless

That thing we both know
A dark cloud
Soft and cushioned
Suspending from above
Waiting to explode

Unspoken awareness
Untouched yet held
In the less is the more
A rhythm that needs no beat
A greater distance with so much heat

You know
And I know
