in the silence
I see
the flashes
of mystery
between the scattered pages
of the story
of my heart
I have this:
truth
my love
instincts driving
the sacrificial need
burned into my soul
these words I bear
this undeniable desire
the crushing weight
of the poetry
of lonely nights
my sin:
devotion
my solace:
the mundane
sound of water
time be still
this longing
the silent sound
I feel
between each breath
saudade
