We sit

We sit facing
With nothing to say.
Your eyes burn holes in
Me. I think of eyes.
Your stares are embers.
They burn in the fire.
But when they look at
Me, they die a bit.
We sit staring,
Wondering what the
Other is thinking.
In between us the
Table dips.
Making us pillars
That are blue with envy.
We sit talking,
But not with a voice.
You talk by licking
You lips.
I talk by stroking
My ear lobes. You ask
Is it important
To me? I scream yes!
You
and I are so tense.
We know not any
Of each others
Moves.
We sit moving.
I twiddle my thumbs
Why are we sitting
When we want to dance?
You speak so often.
We always want to
Touch. You stop talking
And look up. Why should
I believe you when
You reach for me?
You always ignore
Me. You start to move.
Your hand raised and long.
Your finger tips flame
At the sight of me.
Just before you reach me.
Before your flame burns
The slow curve of my
Lips I pull away.
We sit facing
With nothing to say.
