Where have all the words gone?

In the flickering candlelight,
The lines on your face distinctly shown.
Theres you, me and an eerie silence…
Where have all the words gone?

Like the north winds melted by the summer sun,
Lost in the skies never to return.
Like the water that ebb’d and flowd’
Water that slipped through the palm…you weren’t mine to hold.

Like the jealous moon and stars,
Never to be found as another day starts.
Like the dream that comes and goes…
That angelic vision, from a memory flows.

I see your lips as they begin to part,
with the quickest of subtlety, you cloak your heart.
The softest of whispers, and then a lull before the storm
And in the quietness I wonder…Where have all the words gone?
