Without Words

The morning comes
Like so many before
And I am empty
Of its pleasures
If my strength could,
Just push it back
Push the brilliant curtain,
Into the dark
Into the dreaming
Into my heart
The day is so eternal
Congregations of the silent
Voices without words
Voices without touch
Voices of the souls
Trapped in shells
Of crowded loneliness
Just a breath away
From the bliss
The bliss of laughter
The bliss of meaning
Just a breath away
from each other
In the night lives
The memories of
All their faces
The soft kisses
The whispered meanings
Spoken without worry
Spoken in the kisses
Spoken without words
The love of before now
Of other moments
Of other times
Of other ME's

I gather up the night
For its pleasure
For its need,
Cause it still speaks
Without words
To a lonely heart.

"The whispered meanings"

A clarity all their own.
