Ricardo Antunes - A Bicycle Built For Two

A Bicycle Built For Two
===========================

I Speak Personal...
Where A Gesture Speaks Volumes.

Its Best To Love The One You're With,
And Not Love The One You Don't.

Through Thick And Thin,
The One You're With Will Stand By You.

Through Thin And Shallow,
Everyone Else Will Falter Beside.

The Not So Quiet Are Disavowed,
As The Quiet Times Are Important.

Louder Than Words Hollow,
Its In Quiet Where A Gesture Speaks.

A Word Unsaid Can Hurt,
Gestures Left Not Done Hurts More.

While The Spoken Word,
Would Have Been Better Off Silent.

For Far Too Many Gestures Left Undone,
Left The Women I've Loved In Silence.

Where A Silent Gesture Of Reaching Out,
Would Have Sufficed.

An Arm Around Her Neck,
Or A Rub Between The Shoulders.

A Gesture Of Reaching Out,
Would Have Led To A Spoken Word Exchanged.

While A Stare Of Two Pairs Of Eyes Locked,
In What Little I Could Have Spoken.

Leaving Both Parties Hurt,
With Many Gestures Left Unmade.

As Prolongs The Longing,
The Silent Stare Does Not Fulfill.

The Silent Stare Of Two Souls Locked,
With Eyes As Windows To A Soul Loved.

Raises Expectations Of The Love That Could,
Fore Without That Gesture Comes Heart Break.

Two Love Sick Kids Longing To Become Adults,
In Union Of Souls In Wedlock.

Ricardo Antunes
