Silently in the night

Silently in the night she came to me,
her lips seeking mine,
her heart pulsing with love;
silently she touched me -
silently she stole all that I am.

Now what I have is that night remembered -
and its promises lingering.

Only then

You are hidden behind a thousand veils,
and I must wait for every one to fall.
You are hidden behind a thousand days,
and I must wait for every one to pass.
You are hidden behind a thousand uncertainties,
and I must wait for every one to fail.
Only when I have given up all reasoning,
given up all thought,
given up myself
given up all
but the breath of the moment -
only then will you come.
