Silences

Our silences have widened

Into a never-ending vacuum,

Ceaselessly having me floundering

That I can barely see or assume.

There is so much action behind the curtain,

So much that I would have loved to say,

And I'm sure you've deleted from your brain

All my sweet words to you of past days.

I go over some penned lines,

Some heartfelt soulful tributes 

And I've aged a lot in the days gone past

As our memories I reboot.

I must say I haven't crafted much poetry,

And I haven't sung any soulful songs,

Because my inspiration has taken flight

And without that it would be wrong.

I must say the line of men has lengthened

While they ask for smiles or some time,

But I could not yet give my heart to another

Because nobody else inspires me to rhyme.

I am cautious lest I overstress 

That I haven't really forgotten you,

I can't, I shouldn't, I mustn't because

The hardest thing was losing you.

When you see me again will you please

Shake my hand or give me a hug?

Or at least flash me one of your charming smiles

And let me waft in your signature musk?

I wish our days were longer,

I wish your face always adorned 

By your pearly whites

And I wish you cross every rainbow

And bask in only soothing sites.
