Mike Barrett - Requitement Sought

Deaf are your ears
Your eyes blind -
Yet no mute
Nor any sign of one!
Still
My words, my thoughts, my actions
Seen by you,
[ As seemed by me ]
Are nothings.

Nothings.
By nothing.
For nothing -
A chip of quartz on a sandy beach,
A blade of grass on a mansion's lawn,
A scale on a peacock's leg!

Blind you eyes
Or unseeing mine?
Deaf your ears
Or unhearing mine?
Opened your heart
But sealed mine?

Oh that this dam
Between us break -
Your soul solute
To mine solvent,
That they
Henceforth
In one phase state
Exist through time,
Inseparable!
