Free Your Words...

Break free...

You long to utter the words,
to release what is caged,
in your glass heart,
a silhouette of frailty,
wrapped in a gray cloud,
hidden behind an invisible wall,
a ghost stands between us,
wearing a cloak of silence.
Quietly, you wait for the wind,
to blow the entity away;
A savior…to free your words…

I imagine that entity to be fear or uncertainty. Those ghosts are tricky creatures because they're both good and bad. It's knowing the difference that either frees one up to communicate or keeps him from getting into trouble.

Your words glide through the air on the swing of metaphors. You have so much talent and it shows through all of your writings. This is a fine poem Quill, good job.

Such a short, beautiful and philosophical piece
'a ghost stands between us
wearing a cloak of silence'
Loved those lines...
Great job:-):-):-D.

"You long to utter the words'' That opening line is so strong... After all, aren't words the strongest weapon of all of us who come on this site? To imagine, being robbed of the words, that could set us free of that "cage", is deeply terrifying... But then I kept reading, and reached that beautiful conclusion... and the words were freed, so was the reader, and no doubt, so was the author... Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

you have to get that ghost out of the way...reminds me of how two people get together who have been hurt so much before...and have trouble finding their way to each other, trouble communicating because they are both too afraid...there is that ghost of the past.

I write usually for children and young adults so I have to try and maintain a certain thought pattern for the kids. But many adults like it. I have many projects kinda lingering including screenwriting. We will see how it all goes.

Silence is gold.
Your message of silence is heard across the globe.
Nicely penned.

You are welcome,lovely poet!

Silence is indeed golden, for without silence, we would not have the stillness that allows us to listen, and to hear our inner voice. Nicely written.

[Quill~]

I so like this, good work Quill,
It can be the way of writers block
Or lovers block can feel...;-)
Silence speaks always much more,
That ghost isn't there for nothing...

" hidden behind an invisible wall,
a ghost stands between us,
wearing a cloak of silence."

Just fantastic!
