My voice remains
-fragile after the silence.
My voice tries
to explain without words why the silence is needed.
My voice as just one
among hundreds and thousands
longs to blend perfectly
into the noise of the world.
My voice reflects
on your skin, as you listen
with each part of your body,
attentively.
Your eyes, a little blurry,
look right through me - I’m your daydream,
we’re both part of the same fantasy,
so tangible and real.
We are breathing the same air,
in our veins the same blood circulating
vividly.
My voice attempts
to wake you up, to shout and scream,
to make things clear and end this clean.
My voice, it cannot,
can not, can not for my life suppress the burst of fears
that quiet bears. I bite my lips while I feel tears,
I taste their trace across my face.
If I would speak - if I could justify with language
my pretense - I might succeed to veil my needs,
to say I’m fine - at least I’d try.
Your hands are warm
and tremble lightly, while they gently stroke my cheek.
And with your fingertips your touch traces a mark
across my skin. As if engraving all your worries
on the surface of my body, merely just to
write them down. I feel your light caress so
heavy, at first it hurts. And then it’s gone.

I feel hope
Dripping on my shoulder
Your comforting words
Echo whimsically
Far away while
Wicked laughter
Shakes my bones.
I hesitate when
Sipping at my thoughts
Their intrinsic dilemma
Feels ancient
And reassuring
Ironic compassion
Dilutes my heart.
Fingering fingers
Tip thoughtlessly touching
Beloved ideas
Aging flawlessly
Faster than ever
Frantic embrace
Waters my eyes.
I excavate love
Eyes mole lunatically
I find your advice
Dumped deliberately
Inconvenient
Silence follows
Where I end.

Will I
Will I wither
Will I wither in a wink
Will I wither in the wink of an eye
Will I oh
Will I wither in the wink of an eye
Will I wither more tomorrow
Will I wither more today
Will I withdraw
Will I withdraw from your eye
Will I take my eyes off of yours just a while
Will I withdraw
Will I withdraw from this world
Will I be I and I and just I
Will I withhold myself if my eye remains cold
Will the world be withheld from my eye and
Will my eye remain cold but alive, survive and
Will I abide, while - I wither
Will I
Will I still
Will I still weigh and
Will I withstand
Will my weight withstand your watching eye
Will my weight still withstand your eye
While you're watching me wither
Will my weight still withstand your eye
While you're watching me decay and
Will you deny
Will you deny my withdrawal
Will you deny my decay and
Will I withstand your denial
Will you cry
Will you cry when you watch me wither
Will you cry when you watch my decay and
Will I
