For Silence To Be Sweet Again
the whats-and-whys
of your omissions
have me pondering-wondering
how can you not know
that you torment me
and play havoc with my mind
sweet dreams do not come easily
when my heart palpitates
to rhythms of delirium
is that all there is
is that all we are
is there more or is this it
when i finally fall to sleep
the questions fade away
and silence is sweet again
