so quiet tonight…
is the world at peace…
no guns going-off…
not a soul is stirred…

and it was this way after we made love…
you asleep…
a poem in my heart…
tranquil…solace…

trains whistle faintly…
passing cars sound like waves…
the hum of the fridge…
darkness of night…

these whispers go through me…
your ghost haunts me…
i cry…
it is never quite silent…

thoughts of past…
a heartache in the moment…
our journey ended…
was never to complete…

so quiet tonight…
is the world at peace…
no guns going-off…
not a soul is stirred…

is there silence in Syria…
time to reflect on a Middle Eastern moon…
Palestine…oh Palestine…what do you long for…
does Israel hear your call…

here I sit…
longing for you…
no bullets fly here…
the spoilings of melancholy…
