Desert Storm

Let them rip out my eyes
because your voice will reach my ears.

Let them block my ears
because your scent will reach my nose.

Let them burn my nose
because your touch will reach my skin.

Let them strip me of my skin
because your love will reach my heart.

Let them tear out my heart
because your truth will reach my soul.

Desert Storm
And suddenly there were a few clandestine heartbeats
just south of the horizon,
just below the moon.
They were barely noticed.
Eyeballs popped.
Faces fell forward.
They, too, remained unseen.
Of all the steps they had rehearsed so carefully
only the ones performed most slowly were moving.
Inwardly.
One blink later - a strange new voice.
Seconds endlessly endured.
Moments made eternal.
Nobody looked, nobody listened, nobody uttered a sound.
When the beat of a drum in the dark began to deepen the dawn,
one by one all the colour and the light and the sound began to fill the air with song.
They took a deep breath.
Inward. And out.
It was bound to stay.
