the silence

I want to make love with you
without driving away the silence…

and let the hours pass by
between pauses and caresses,

I want to lose myself slowly in your eyes
to understand the meaning of your gaze,
to know beforehand
every one of your smiles.

and to make of this still darkness
a world that is so much yours and mine,
where we forget fears and desires,
where we forget that I am a man
and you are a woman,

so we can feel that we are,
together,
sharing our oneness…
