Silent Loud

"For my first love..."

The room is dark
eerie shadows cast upon moonlit walls
The sound of wind
and of sleepers down the hall

Through closed windows
I sense the moonlight glancing off of gliding clouds
I close my eyes
it seems to quiet the silent loud

My mind slips
then begins the long fall
into the spinning corridors
where our love is the law

I do not feel the hopelessness
of a man in ripping tides
for though I fall
I know you’re there, always by my side

I see you then
as you’ve been watching me
I see the love we hold
as only true lovers can see

We approach each other
I gaze in your face
I find your lips tender
as we kiss in a daze

Again and again we kiss
with each more yearning then before
Then, I awaken
I am alone, yet not so alone as before
