Once again in a momentary stillness
Time and distance are in command
The lovers in estranged existence
Looking right through hearts’ demand
The lovers’ souls lying mute in slumber
Quiescent hearts are now completely silent
Their lips paralyzed and without power
Unwearyingly waiting for that moment
Then after the silence comes the speech
Hearts once again jumping to the beat
Their souls and lips chant and beseech
Playing a harmonious music of deceit
The music plays and their stomachs flutter
Curtains are drawn and they embrace in darkness
In silence you can hear them cry and whisper
They dance to the music until they become powerless
