Pride

The quiet moments were always best.

Laying gently by your side,

With no need to have ever cried.

In those moments, I knew I was blessed.

Our love had never felt a test

Never been pulled apart or pressed

The quiet moments were always best.

With no need to have ever cried.

Eventually, our peace was wrest,

out of our hands and away did it hide.

And how quickly now I'd relinquish my pride.

For, without you, what good is the rest?

The quiet moments were always best.

You have written the best song of my heart,"The quiet moments were always best."
The quiet moments are also the best blessings.

This is definitely my favorite of your work on here, exceptionally well versed. In silence, we communicate, although not by voice. It seems to be the most genuine of communication for we sometimes fumble with words, not knowing how to necessarily describe or explain a situation.

"And how quickly now I'd relinquish my pride."

Such a powerful line... I can do nothing but relate heavily. Well done friend, and Greetings from Quebec also !!

The quite moments are always the best! Lovely words! Eventually our peace was wrest. Interesting comparison to the idea of peace and rest played out in this poem. For, without you, what good is the rest? Cleaver use of words! Nice work!

Another beautiful poem, I especially like the repetition of "With no need..." and "The quiet moments..." as they heighten the poignancy of the poem. Do "wrest" and "glide" fit together well? Keep writing, you've a great talent.

[Arabella Song]

Lol, no, they don't really XD That was the line I struggled the most with because I just couldn't find a good rhyme, but you're definitely right. Something doesn't sound right xD

[abluehorseandflowers]

It might be considered a cheat, but have you looked at RhymeZone?

[Arabella Song]

Lol, yeah XD But, there's only so many rhymes there and the majority of them are either places, obscure and dated words, slant or eye rhymes (which I very much dislike) or something like "Cellar Door" to rhyme with "Floor" Lol, but, as long as I keep the words simple it's works pretty well :)

This is true. I refuse to pronounce again like rain. :p thpbpbpbpbpb...
