Don't ask.

There are no
answers.

Only temporary walls that
confine us to our
reality.

Don't ask...let your eyes probe mine in
silent yearning for a truth.

Don't respond.

Even as my fingers trail such
questions to your lips.

Don't...

There are no answers.

Only walls...falling soundless in
our night.

Searching eyes...that seek into another universe between two people.  A fantastic and uncertain adventure...captivating.
Oh wow!

wonderfully romantic....

And so it those we live with
and should know who elude us
But we can still love them
we can love completely
without complete understanding

Yes....sometimes the eyes ask questions, that lips can't fully answer......and the spirit cares nothing for walls.

Eric

As usual you hit lower levels of understanding

You could be in some camp in

Somewhere else

Eric,

I read you poem with interest. It is very poetic, yet, it left me in silence.
