My poem in Nomad’s Choir:

LIVING IN SILENCE

I live in silence,

make my bed with your thoughts.

My tongue is numb,

unable to speak your name.

The color of your eyes,

the texture of your hair,

the touch of your hands,

the whisper of your words

must be kept secret.

You’re my guardian,

teacher, friend, lover—

you’re also my prisoner,

the one who gave 

back my life.

You’ve left this physical plane,

but my free will brought you back.

Only the caverns of imagination

and the stillness of moonlight

can understand and protect

what became sacred.

I am the “x,”

you are the “y,”

but no formula can prove

what we’re experiencing.

Only when I die,

this silence will shatter

the temporal world

 

and love will occupy the universe.
