Have you Heard The Whispers?

Not the faint hush of a voice
quietly escaping on a breath,
floating languidly
like ribbons through the still air,

No, have you heard the whispers
of eyes in silent expression,
as untold thoughts are passed
from one to another;

The whispers of  fingers
telling voiceless stories
in delicate trails along soft skin,
and the whispered tremor in return;

The wordless whispers of heartbeats
that ride the waves of gentle breezes,
reaching forth like tendrils
to wrap around the soul.
