The Pause...

The pause,
Stretching beyond eternity.
Hollow, silent,barren
My doubts echoing against its walls.

You cant find much to say,
But your restless fingers,
Drumming incessently
On the table between us,
Have some to convey.

A silent spell screams loud,
I rush to gather some words
Inane,meaningless,
Like empty calories feeding the soul

We look around
Everywhere, but at each other.
Dull, insipid pictures,
Forming a collage that
Fails to stir us.

You hum a songless tune
And I just fight my restless sighs.
We both dodge the inevitable
Senseless efforts to while time

I brace myself,
To meet the evasive eyes
You ask me no truth,my dear
I promise to tell you no lies.

Yes,I shall tell no lies!
