The Wordsmith

Poetry and Shorts by Brent Allen Bennett

Actions

They say actions speak louder than words
And that look in your eye is
Screaming at me
While the hands on my face
Whisper innocently in my ear

I keep thinking about that
Biz Markey song as my
Hands caress that silky smooth skin
Soon those luscious lips turn
“Just a Friend” to “Say Goodbye”
And I think to myself
“Just for tonight”

Sweat drips, pulses pound
For a moment I forget where I am
And get lost in the candlelight

The only sounds spoken
Are pants and moans
And the rhythm of
“More Human Than Human”
Pounds in my skull
And drives this thing forward

Then you roll over and fall asleep
And I whisper the only three words
I can’t mutter while you are awake
