solemn silence

 
in your silent times, you spoke deeply to my heart
poignant soulful looks connect with my sacred inner woman
arousing the protector in me
 
your stoic needs my own
I welcomed your storm inside me
as one we brave the days
the dawn wept on your sorrow
and I on the morrows
 
when you withdrew I watched on
quietly contemplative of your blue
inside the sanctity of your solemn hidden
 
within your diary of secrets guardian
I hide the pain from prying eyes
no one knows you like I do  
whispers are unnecessary shouts
you say volumes with just a look
 
in your forlorn days, you linger
I kept your sadness within me
your still waters run deep
 
I swim within your depths
until your depression lift
 
your smiling days return to me
