    a new silence

     I.  silent regret
    broken by your gaze
    of immunity
    your subtle touch
    abates my insecurity
    as my broken heart
    reaches for your healing
    my hands
    find
    redemption

    II.  falling fast
    at the     sound of
    your voice
    and i stand
    before you
    helpless
    i am back
    where i started
    honesty is all i have
    for you
    i can tell you about hurt
    and pain and loss
    but
    i can teach you
    what love is
    and as you sit before me
    arms open
    i can only stare

    III.  silent words release
    a sigh
    from my lips
    an escape from
    my confusion
    and i no longer feel
    misunderstood
    a balance
    i embrace
    lying in your arms
    your flawless touch
    fingertips hold
    soft longings
    pretensions unspoken
    moments unwritten

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
