adagio
A thousand rhymes
and polished breaths,
the gradual rise and fall of chests
in silence synch.

andante
The morn is nigh
and as light seeps
to gild with gold two lovers' cheeks
a smile breaks.

allegro
Averted gaze
and embrace blur
to lacerate with stifled words
a tightened throat.

grave
But sleepless nights,
nothing proclaims
the silent love that went unnamed
upon its own sepulchre.

I must say, this was very well written! Words must always have meaning, and I can happily say that they do here. The language and structure is rather unique too :) This poem is full of meaning, and it's so beautiful :)
