Silent Robber

A communicator with eyes that speak

entrance to the mind that knows

Tell me I love you with your look

I know when I hurt you with one glance

Speaking eyes never to lose

talking with you for life

silenced sudden for all time

Why do they look now without a word

clear and blank, silent and dead

resting in a container that breathes

Where are the words I seek

The mind robber stalks in silence

his victims many, any, all

coming to rob your present thoughts,

your past he soon desires

Your future blank, living dark in light

robbed of your eyes that speak

your thoughts your words your living life

He lets you keep a living shell

no words no thoughts no life to share

Waiting for the flesh to go

to meet the eyes that speak
