for MY diego rivera

must i turn my back
to evade
the enticing spell 
that you cast on me, 

must i allow
my eyes
to see your charms
my ears
to hear your whispers
my lips
to utter the entangled language
that only your heart
can unravel,

how can silence remain smothered
when only your love can silence
my restless heart,

and
just how can i face
my empty world
when days pass on
like empty dreams
without you,

would you conquer
the stillness
of my aching heart?

tell me.
i will listen. . .

ps.  ilysm and thank you for the reciprocity.  bwahahaha!
