DUELING HEARTS IN THE NIGHT


 

"WHISPERS"                                                    

I hear echoes                                                       

Drum beats in my soul                                      

Faint tugging whispers                                    

Urgent in their call

                                               

I see images                                                         

Float above a cloud                                          

Painted in full view                                           

Illusive, in a shroud                                           

 

I feel footprints                                                   

Creases in my mind                                           

Time baked fossils                                             

From a distant find                                           

 

I touch shadows                                                 

Floating in the mist                                           

Dreams of conscience                                       

I cannot resist                                                     

 

I taste nectar                                                       

Potion of my soul                                               

And all this while                                               

Aren't awake at all….

Shhhhhh….

I hear your whispers

I wait and long for your words

Just a small sip from your glass

I thirst in my heart with need

 

The night passes slowly with sadness

As tears well in my eyes of blue

I reach out to embrace your gentleness

As I lie in the darkness and think of you

 

I hear your whispers

Your pain echoes in silent places

I try to imagine your shadowed image

And my senses long for your touch

 

Somewhere in the stillness lay

Yet unveiled emotions screaming

For truth of one's unmet needs

Like a song with no lyrics

 

I hear your whispers

In this silence is a subtle reminder

That sweet passion is the only panacea

Which fills the creases of your mind

*Epaphroditus© 11/3/00
