This Side Of Silence

"When you say nothing at all", from this side of the silence.

On this latest day
filled with your silence,
I know denying reality will
never bridge distances
that are measured in time.

There can be no peace
found in solitude,
unless in your time spent there
you decide home
will never include me.

On this side of silence,
I cut my day into tiny pieces,
and promise myself
there is still hope
where no words are spoken.


Does the memory of loving me
leave you with more to be desired?
We could never have imagined
falling in love with each other,
nor the taste of mingling lips.

Manna you once said, and magic.
Wondering if you had found the words,
never having felt that way before.
Now I lie awake
alone in this silence.
For even my angels are asleep.
