A SILENT PACT
A lad and a lass,
Stood two feet apart
Exactly two feet apart,
Two feet of solid tension.
The tired sun sailed west,
Her eyes heavy with slumber,
Exhausted, wasted, and tired for the
day it set,
Of such scenes it had sate.
A nocturnal bird lulled her to sleep
A crescent moon curved in a smile
Radiant and coldly warm.
Queen of romance!
A silent pact was signed today.
On a dusty, deserted country road,
A fork where two roads broke,
A fork where two roads embraced.
A silent pact was signed today
Witnessed by titanic baobabs, thorny
cactus, acacia and-
Graced by leafless euphobia
On the country road,
Gusts of whirl wind tore at us,
Maniacal wind sanded our faces
On that country road
Eurhythmics of infantile love.
Defying the tormenting gale,
The whirl wind,
The searing savannah heat.
Gazing at each other
They signed a silent pact today.
Two hearts ached
Two bodies yearned
The tide of emotion rose
The waves of reason ebbed.
Two warm bodies signed a silent pact
today
Bosom to bosom
Eye to eye
Arms in arms
Two young people clung to illicit love
They fell into the soft tentacles of
love
A pact was signed today…
It’s true a pact was signed today
