in silence I am overwhelmed

Words cannot express
What is deep within the heart
In silence
You speak volumes to me

Silence is not golden
Haunting me long after your gone
Weighing on the heart
Touching deep within

At times silence is frightening
Like thick smoke
A blinding wall between us
Broken down only when we touch

In silence our bodies meet
Piercing through the smoke
If only for a moment
Saying what words dare not

Without words our lips speak
Kisses falling like rain
Showering our bodies
Searching in silence

Our eyes meet
And for a moment I see into your soul
Feeling your struggle
...in silence I am overwhelmed

I love this poem....the imagery of the struggle to understand oneself and how overwhelming in attempt to understand another. How can our tongues ever keep up? Beautiful!

Impactful words. You have chosen your words to play out your theme and it works in a wonderfully succinct way.

A beautiful poem. I believe silence is needed. Actions speak louder than too many words spoke.
"Without words our lips speak
Kisses falling like rain
Showering our bodies
Searching in silence"
The above lines stood out and led the reader to the very good ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
