Silence is not keeping quiet
because you have nothing
to say...

Silence is having a lot
to say but no desire
to speak...

Marry the man who cannot see
The one who can't reach the apple tree
Or if ever a modern Eve will lead him there
He won't bite the fruit of great despair

Marry the man who cannot hear
The one who won't believe a deceiving seer
Or if ever a sea goddess will call for him
He won't dive in there, he will not swim

Marry the man who dreams for your joy
The one who never thinks you just need a toy
Or if ever you wish for a complicated task
He will do it to see you smile without why to ask

Marry the man who never looks at your face
But rather sees more of your inner grace
Or if ever you're pretty, he will always tell
You have a beautiful heart and he knows it well

Marry the man who forgets everything
Just to offer you the most precious ring
Not a thing of silver, diamond or gold
But a ring which tells a great love ever told

All of these might true but it doesn't mean
You will search for the one who will treat you as a queen
If ever someone comes and tells that he loves you
Just marry the man when you're ready to say *I do

She's an alphabet artist
she paints in words,

from a palette of adjectives,
nouns and verbs,

the landscape she finds
in the folds of her mind

she exhibits in volumes of verse.

Sometimes your heart needs to be broken
So you can see what's underneath,
To the flicker and flame of your soul
That you've always been destined to meet.

Sometimes your spirit shines brighter
Through the glimmering light of your tears,
And when you arrive at the end of it all
Love will outshine the darkest of years

There are stories in your eyes.

I never told you how
sometimes I fell asleep
with the thought that you
were perhaps the moon-

always disappearing
with the dawn.
