love and silence …
you and i,
shielded by silence.
barred from ourselves at times.
exiled hearts,
building ramparts.
a wall
that may fall.
so,
my friend ...
lay your head on my chest,
letting my fingers run through your hair,
lulling you gently to rest, as we share our silences,
for life is far too short anyway,
to squander even a day.
love and silence …
