Your Voice Caresses My Name

like a ghost dances to the beat of a heart that's been broken............

A cold wind blows into my soul
as a ghost dances
to the beat of a heart that's been broken
by the promise of words.
Until, there is no more time left to ache
for what has not fallen
from the air you breathe
to be seen or heard.

Your silence speaks inside of me,
calling out to be tears
selfishly chaining this cold wind
inside of my soul,
to remain.
All that I love has been painted
by the promise.................
of your words,
and the sweetest sound I know
is your voice
caressing my name.

Where Neva do you find these excellent pictures to go with your poems. I love it. It adds life and more beauty to your poems. But I love this poem as well. Yes, I also find that the last few lines are my favorite. You always bring the poem together beautifully. Another beautiful write.

The sound of someones voice can make us feel many things or the lack of the voice can penetrate deep within the mind and heart.

The thought that you inspire within my very being is that if there is hesitation in transparency, and there surely must be in sensitive moments, it feels like you throw caution into the wind and expose the beauty within your heart and soul..Poetry from raw emotion expressed in ways the the reader feels blessed to have shared your moments with pen in hand. I love your writing and admire your willingness to share reality.

Painfully beautiful expression

Skilful script, with sweet pure emotion bursting through. Inspired and I'm certain straight from your heart to the page. Passion passion, passion. It is brave to be open like you are with this.
