Songs In Your Silence
in a restless dream last night
I wondered about what keeps thoughts of you
alive in my memory and takes me through avenues
to listen to the voice of your eyes that nobody but I
could understand and plants in my heart songs hidden
in your silence and that silence encloses me with your looks
as you open petal by petal your heart as Spring opens the rose
to touch skillfully and mysteriously that place inside me
which no one has ever traveled gladly beyond any eye
ever since the dream I’ve walked in your silence
with your heart with your songs with the voice of your eyes
and the gestures in the silence enclose me with a love
like a naked light that brings whispers like silent raindrops
on my narrow street and without any musing my heart consumes
the whispered words of love in the sounds of your silence
and nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals the power
of your intense love whose texture compels me to surrender
to your love what I am forever with each breath
till heaven closes its doors on me
