Silence

I turn my face up like a waiting cup Ready to catch beads of beam that falls From your face turned downward to mine. And between our distant thoughts, silence. We, two black souls, face to distant face And heart to heart beating near Allow nothing to be corrected or erase For truth needs no voice louder than love I am not a child again Nobody can manipulate my pain. I remain Transfixed with adoration's eyes Though the moon is only barren rock The stars are only balls of gas The moon shines in the spell of a star And drink of silence As diamonds melt into liquid of light still. Still, earthless, silence implores silence.
