hold hands

Let us just hold hands

Shhh! Don’t talk,

It will ruin the moment

At times like this,

Silence speaks best,

And our eyes,

 tell what our hearts habor

shh! Let us hold hand,

and share in our fond silence.

Let our unuttered words

Spark the mystery

That our hearts long for

Let our longing dance on our lips

But never beyond them

Let our passions flood our fingers

As we feel our palms

And the taste of touch lingers

Let us just hold hand,

Hold back the urge for the urgent kiss

For the warm embrace

For the sneaking caress

Let our lips desire more

Than our hearts could give

But please

Let us just hold hands

Let our eyes  sing ballads

As we dangle in each others gazes

Let our fingers entangle

To the rhythm of the tango

Of their own making

Let our palms send pulses

Of promises best kept silent

Lest fate make us diligent                      

Shhh! Bite back the urge to speak,

Let us savor eternity

In this knowing silence

Enjoy our fading essence

And smile at our secret message

Darling

Let us hold hands

And walk in to the sunset

Your head on my shoulder

And make a prayer

On what our lives may become

Let us just hold hands
