Resounding silence
I love you too much for words,
so please try to read my silence,
the inexpressible faith of my heart,
masked by female weaknesses,
as if to hide the truth by lies,
the truth being too sacred
to be publicly exposed.
So let me hide my love
under the veils of my ever growing hair,
under my garments hiding the truth of my body,
under my downcast eyes looking beyond
the surface to the soul
and under the cloak of my silence
to let no one hear the cries
of my love
echoing throughout the silence of the universe.
