Our Silences by A.T.M

An intense look

sweeping gaze

goose bumps on my flesh

the world stops

when the heart starts

roaring in the ears

nothing said

nothing heard

but a lifetime of words

fill up the silences

between you n me

forever aware

wherever you are

your life flows to me

and mine to you

my thoughts to you

your force to me

so much struggle

on what to do

not to do

and the despair

between the two

days stretch

and the heart wears thin

silences before

which were filled with

a rare calm

turn meditative

shifting desires

suppressed passions

the alchemy of love

makes gold the dust

and then

you become me

and I you

we breathe anew

a rare life force

merged and yet alone

alone and yet merged

nothing needs to be said

to be heard

and yet

the silences are renewed

everything understood

there’s spring in the air

love and flair

and life a celebration

when we meet

to part again
