Melodies In Silences Poem by Luce Darwin

In your silences
I hear a melody no one else hears
In your eyes
I see landscapes
Places where no one dares to go
They are harsh and violent;
sometimes cold and desolate;
Yet I walk though them
Until it is dark and make fires
And I spend the night
Waiting for what I know you possess;
Some warmth; some creative fire;
I will spend all the hours of the sunlight;
Though clouded over, in this;
This below zero savanna
Until you fall alseep
Your eyes closing over me
And I watch the ice melt
As your dreams change
The land trembles and terraforms;
water turns to gasoline;
The landscape ignites
Trees sprout from the new dirt
Deep forests of greenery are made
And I live there;
Until the sun rises and you open your eyes;
Your forests made hidden again
My boat will be moored at your seashore
For as long as there is a shore
for me to step off onto
I will wait years
to see just one of your dreams
Under your titanium surface
There are more diamonds
Than there is sand in all the beaches
You are hidden fragility; masked beauty;
You are my only home
