Without a Why

Ask me to be silent
and I will
but not my heart
which you left
in the wake of a
turbulent smile,

The storm in me
follows your scent blindly
no questions asked
or answers required
to satisfy,

Stripped by your eyes
embraced by your smile
a sanctuary opens
for reality to
come alive,

With your single step
thoughts entwined
but an unsteady heart
ran away without
saying why…
