While in this prolonged silence
between a whisper and your ear
embarrassed to repentance
to have desired you appear
Yet silence is a measure
of many ways to say
these words would be my pleasure
if only listening were your way
For in this prolonged silence
accustomed as I am today
you are a distant remanence
of rainbows’ ends turned grey
Then silence pirates sentiments
the treasure hoarded fast
sailing into the sunset
toward an island in the past
So in this prolonged silence
I wander under a vanished spell
smoothing out ambivalence
such no burden for me to quell
That silence is snapped to attention
as dawn breaks into day
setting you free my one intention
yet you’ve already gone away
