Silent Breaths

With windows open my breaths I am counting While silent seconds are beating in heart's rhyme. Silence is a deep well, inside its' waters I'm drowning A chimera's torrent runs me down and to the surface I can't climb. Silence shouts for those dreams left behind on desert road Thirsty and desperate they discover an oasis illusion. Between sights and guilts, I hold those needs ready to explode Cutting red wires, like a choice arisen from an adulterate collusion. A compromise is not the sound of a lonely tree being blown by the wind. Silent nights are carving with stars world's unspoken words upon the ceiling. As I lay beside this abyss, like a bottle floating in the waves of the sea I trust silence to find the truth I seek, the piece of a lost feeling.
