Silence

I have gathered silence
in eloquent drops
from forests,
mystic winds,
winter frosts,
diffident tongue
of passive seas.
and from the mossy green
petals of time.

The silence between
rebel winds and mystic skies,
the silence between wayward nights
and fleeting dawns,
between raindrops and a cloud.

The silence,
between one poem and another.
The silence between
of unborn words
of unsung songs.

The silence bordering our lives.
between quivering lips.
The silence of distance
of desires……
of secrets,
your eyelids.

The silence
of forged dreams
breaking loose on the waltzing breeze.
The silence of your nave
ligniting fire in my eyes.

Let the silence of my poem
paint you in the rhythm
of what you are to me.
