Someday I will speak

Someday I will speak

“Hurt once and for all into silence…”
Leonard Cohen

You came to me the other night,

and smiled a smile that lingered

in my memory all day,

but the currawong and the sun’s song

were the music on my way.

someday I will speak

but not right now

not yet

I don’t know what I’d say

I waited for you again last night,

your eyes the stars in my eyes

as I watched the moon ascend,

but to be redeemed it has to seem

as if broken hearts can mend.

someday I will speak

but not today

not now

I have no love to send

Pavlos Andronikos
