Silence
Sometimes when I’m silent
I’m picturing myself in a
Sunlit room filled with glass
With a bat
Exhausted I
Fall atop reflections
And dream in golden red

Children
How tempting it is
How fatal the blow
Of the kiss that explodes
A childhood of sorrow
And with it
Fond memories of
Starfish and sand dollars
And heroic adventures
When he was Hercules and
She was Medusa
Strong, sleek and evil
But if they breathe in slowly
They can make it their own
As the grieving tears of today
Bear resplendent gardens
Of joyous tomorrows
So a kiss is at once
A promise and betrayal
As they float in tides of forever
In a lively weariness
Of constant fascination
How fatal the blow
Of the kiss that explodes
A childhood of sorrow
And with it
Fond memories of
Starfish and sand dollars
And heroic adventures
When he was Hercules and
She was Medusa
Strong, sleek and evil
But if they breathe in slowly
They can make it their own
As the grieving tears of today
Bear resplendent gardens
Of joyous tomorrows
So a kiss is at once
A promise and betrayal
As they float in tides of forever
In a lively weariness
Of constant fascination
