Silent Soliloquy


Would you know
before I told you?
If I came close enough
would you
feel the change
in the air about us
that solidification
of something unspoken
pristeen
yearning and flowing
from me to you?

Are you
too scarred
too experienced
too jaded
in your own mind
to feel
the real
and unannounced power
falling
from my fractured heart
pouring out at your feet?

Would you know
how the depths of me
cry out
to belong to you
not only
in the sweet enfolding hours
of the night
but in the blaze
and thunder of sun
and rain?

Would you feel
the greif
the longing
the need of you
that lives in me?
A daily torment
and blessing
just to be
present
in the same world
with you?

Would you know
before I told you?
Will I ever dare
to bridge
this breach
to reach
the only thing
in life worth having?

You.
All that is best
and worthy
of keeping
in this insane world
I see in you alone.

Is there in you
I wonder
and secretly hope
the same need
of someone
who feels this way
for you?

And would I know
before
you told me?
