My silence within you

 by Tabea Hirzel

It is my silence within you

I'm searching for.

Some words are like a shield 

to protect thoughts and thighs 

but in your presence 

this shield becomes a boat

on which I can cross 

the river to your eyes.

 

And deep inside your soul

I find my silence.

 

It is my silence I seek 

in the words You speak

the necessary and not more

and yet, 

you dominate 

from the start.

 

It is my silence within you

from which you listen 

and you hear

the art 

of painting memories 

in the offing.

 

And it is this music

that sounds 

and resounds 

now and here in my ear

which lets me doffing

the veil to your heart.
