We were brimming
With concupiscent phrases.
In bright, sun-lit rooms
Riddled with holes,
We swivelled our drinks
In our hands
As we chewed on
Scrags of trivia-
Stuffing them into our mouths
Like tender meat-balls.
Why then-
Today as we sit face to face
In this fancy restaurant
Under the surreal flood
Of uninhibited light;
With feet poised and perpetually
Pointing towards the door
And the shadows
Disrobing beyond-
Do we sneak furtive glances
Over our shoulders
Mouthing nothing but silences? [comments] => 3 [counter] => 177 [topic] => 21 [informant] => sanju [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

SILENCES

Contributed by sanju on Saturday, 26th July 2003 @ 02:05:00 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

Less than a year ago
We were brimming
With concupiscent phrases.
In bright, sun-lit rooms
Riddled with holes,
We swivelled our drinks
In our hands
As we chewed on
Scrags of trivia-
Stuffing them into our mouths
Like tender meat-balls.
Why then-
Today as we sit face to face
In this fancy restaurant
Under the surreal flood
Of uninhibited light;
With feet poised and perpetually
Pointing towards the door
And the shadows
Disrobing beyond-
Do we sneak furtive glances
Over our shoulders
Mouthing nothing but silences?
