Silences
Sleep has left my eyes
Like power the bow of an aged hunter
While my parchments remain unfilled
And my poems stopped in my mouth.
I toss like a mooning lunatic
Tear like the near claws of this werewolf
Not finding, seeking, solace
From this unceasing itch
To see you, smiling
in the silence with me.

The House On The Hill
My mind's distracted and diffused, My thoughts are many miles away, They lie with you when you're asleep, And kiss you when you start your day. — Simon and Garfunkel
