to understand the essence

To stand naked, lost in thought, comfortable. Uninhibited in the company of another.  That silence speaking of much between two people mature in feeling and mature in recognition of self. 

Unnecessary babble painful to the ear. 

And yet. 

At times, that babble 

flowing 

gurgling

gushing 

and

 very welcoming.

Like anything in life, one needs to understand the essence of silence. 

A meditation of sound.
...imagine a moment
nothing more than a smile
a hug....but a genuine hug

ones head buried in the others frame

....like 2 lions...

rubbing ones face and hair into each other

...a gentle introduction of self.

Smelling...breathing in that unique smell of each other.

All of a sudden ones skin tingles. Every pore open and receptive to the touch, the feel of ones partner.

Now.

 Imagine that person to stand close...cup your face...their lips parted ....hovering on your parted lips...

and 

all the two of you are doing

 is breathing each other in....

nothing more.
