Love Birds

Thy dormant soul lies in rest;
Patiently seeking the one whom, 
Shall know me best.

Thy quiet sobs go unheard;
Hide away, in the darkness,
The solemn thoughts seemingly absurd.

Around and around we go;
Faces and faces,
But no one I ultimately know.

Then from nowhere, a moment comes;
When I look at you,
Stricken with blush, and suddenly dumb.

Thy soul swells in anticipation;
The signs point along,
To a long ago emancipation.

I see you, and you see me,
But we dance around each other as if it were not so;
I can't believe, can it be?

We exchange the common words,
Giggle here and there; 
Our souls dance like two funny love birds.

And afterwards I wait again in rest,
Until the time we shall meet again;
And every minute I solemnly protest.
