Silence

I can hear the chatter of our thoughts

And then I hear a silence

That resounds through the abyss

That we have become

Set apart in time and in space,

Maybe, this abyss we always were

An eternity staring back at us...

Soulmates, we were,  in strangers

Yearning to be together,

In submission and in defiance

In flesh and in blood, but in the tangible

not in the figments of our imagination,

and not in its deafening silence.
