Sounds of the silence of an unwritten poem

"Silence". Eric N Alvarez © 2025.

 

Here, under the brilliant sunlight of another day
here, in the early hours of the night
while the autumn moon travels across the sky
here, in those intimate hours
just before the dawn breaks
and another morning begins
here and now, I cannot express words of love
the way I did yesterday

Here and now,
I am incapable of harmonizing the words
the way I did in other spaces
of the never ending time
there is an absolute silence within me
I can hear the footsteps of evil and violence
approaching on their way
to destroy peace and freedom

At this stage of my inner silence
at this instant of our journey
I have not yet written the poem I owe you
I have not expressed the thoughts
that your eyes and your sensual smile
inspire when you appear before me
emerging from your complex world
full of twists and challenges
full of unexpected changes
your unavoidable gaze
always capture my soul
and my senses

Here, at this space on time,
I cannot write as I did in the past
here, at this space of time
only the silence of an unwritten poem
can have the resonance
of thousands of words
my contradictions create
the language which expresses
the feelings within the silence
of the hidden verses
waiting in my mind

I write and fight not only for the sake
of a society free and diverse
in these times in which the future
is a road plagued of uncertainties
my thoughts and my convictions are inspired
not only by the solidarity
this moment requires
but also by the love we share
in this space of the reality
that only belongs to you
to us...
