Lovers in silenceA Poem by Opeyemi Jide-Ojo
The dark calls in beauteous silence,
Vast deep expanses covering secrets- The silence is most endearing, Like a soul calling to her lover. And I should answer, same spirit calling One to another, and a certain love of the silence Between us, silence of lovers shared- The dark is most beautiful. And I can only stare, Take in this sacred moment, and It should last a while, Save me from this mundane system For an awareness of the divine. It speaks of youth, love of the free, And age should not tell on her brows Nor the son of time bow her low. She spreads in pride, daughter of life- Alas! For she is life herself, And the love of all that lives.... © 2013 Opeyemi Jide-OjoReviews
