Behind the clear skies
The Deadly Silence~
Before the storm
Our most beautiful white cotton towels
soaked up the red wine
spilled over from our latest words spoken
in distress
Broken shards of crystal goblet glasses
with their finely designed golden rims
laid in wait for one misstep
The gift of our finest of China platter
stood its ground
yet
something about its shattered corners
even when repaired
would forever be a reminder of our shattered lives
We sit exhausted on opposite sides
of our once comfortable ottoman
arms aspire
fatigue greets our loins
and
in our hearts
a deadly silence
The kind of silence that immediately
suffocated anything that grew
Our Mona Lisa Smile replaced
with the blood-stained tears
down
the face of our stained glass souls
The beautiful sunlight
now cast a shadow of the cross
upon which neither of us dares to look
And it was then we knew
this love of ours
would never again be renewed
Now from time to time
we in our own world reflecting
upon that beautiful summer day
when we each proclaimed
“I do”
Never for a moment thinking
that sentence was only the beginning
of the many painful things
“I’ll do to you”
More and more we find ourselves
waiting patiently
for the passing of the thunderstorms
to enjoy the rainbows
hoping foolishly that we will again
someday find each other
at the end of our elusive beginning…
