Velvet silence closed the room
as lantern light began to sway
your breath dissolved the floating gloom
and brushed my doubts one step away
I traced the glow upon your skin
while dusk embroidered gentle art
a fragile hush grew deep within
and stitched our shadows heart to heart
The night unfolded tender wings
to offer us a softer place
I felt the hush of hidden things
reach toward the warmth of your embrace
Stay with the hush the stars protect
stay with the pulse your presence weaves
love thrives in quiet we collect
beneath the moon the night believes
