Once again in a momentary stillness <br />Time and distance are in command <br />The lovers in estranged existence <br />Looking right through hearts’ demand <br /> <br />The lovers’ souls lying mute in slumber <br />Quiescent hearts are now completely silent <br />Their lips paralyzed and without power <br />Unwearyingly waiting for that moment <br /> <br />Then after the silence comes the speech <br />Hearts once again jumping to the beat <br />Their souls and lips chant and beseech <br />Playing a harmonious music of deceit <br /> <br />The music plays and their stomachs flutter <br />Curtains are drawn and they embrace in darkness <br />In silence you can hear them cry and whisper <br />They dance to the music until they become powerless<br /><br />Kay Barcelon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-long-silence/
