My Salvation

My Salvation – by Ana G. Gomez

I should like to close your mouth forever,
To seal your lips for eternity,
So that I might gaze upon your smile
Until my eyes would gaze no longer.
Alas, I cannot.
For then, I would never hear your voice,
Which has become a bright melody and a resounding symphony 
In this deaf,
Soundless
Life of mine…
