Neither of us

Neither you nor I do

 

You can’t see

I’m blind

‘Because you don’t want to

You can’t believe I’m deaf

‘Cause you haven’t to

You don’t believe

I am also dumb

Do you know why?

 

I’m blind because

I can’t see you

Through the computer’s eye

I’m deaf because

From 18000 miles distance

Even Niagara feels shy.

 

You don’t want to believe

As I am really not dumb

Though of course speechless

For the beauty

That contains you,

Seeps though my eyes

I just can’t believe

My very moist eyes

 

What’s it that you want?

I really can’t say,

All that my prayer is

Present me your luscious lips

 

I will see

Hear

Also speak through

As forever

I shall always

Remain within you.
