Poem
Silence Let's not talk of fantasy Of moon or stars and things Let's not talk of romance And the heartache that it brings Let's not talk of sleepless nights Or times we've come to dread Let's not talk of sexuality Or things not left unsaid Let's not talk such puerile thoughts We're adults after all Lets not talk of latent lust Lest our duty duly fall Let's not talk of deepened friendship Prolonged, subdued, but more Than passing ships in the night Drifting to each other's shore Let's not talk of passion Or tightening of the chest Let's not talk of nervousness Or the heaving of your breast Let's not talk of you and I Or distance in between Let's not talk of barriers Of race and fear unseen Let's not talk of making love Of holding you in my arms Let's not talk of my caressing you Lest it sets off more alarms Let's not talk of happiness In the short time since we met Let's not talk with open hearts Lest the pain we should forget Let's not talk of emptiness Of voids left deep within Let's not talk of stolen hours, days Or the abyss that we'll feel in Let's not talk of rush nor haste Of want or fire inside Let's not talk of my departures Or of feelings we can't hide Let's not talk of fantasy Of moon or stars and things Let's not talk of romance For who knows what tomorrow brings
