Strange Friend

The loneliness changes

but persists.

It does not mean to harm.

From the corners of my eyes

I can feel it near.

Time to time

I let it approach

and accept its chilly embrace.

My strange friend

shuttling me through the days

and nights.

How steady the company.

An unexpected need

to push through 

all the years.

Loneliness is desire unfulfilled.

Silence

You go to where Silence lives,

She is waiting, she can love you.


You go to where Silence lives,

She knows how long you've waited.


Midnight flowing through her windows,

No more waiting.


Silence, only this,

Silence, only us,

Silence, no more.
