silent

from 'Footprints in the Sand'

you're keeping silence

as if you disappeared

from this world of

the galanty show

 

you're keeping silence

as if I were dead

as if we both melted

in the sweetest dreams

to be together

 

can you hear

the voice of my heart

which is unable

to stay deathly-still

 

and gentle rain

of silent longing prayer

that's falling down

from my lips

 

about you?

. absolutely exquisite thoughts ...
. and, absolutely exquisite poetry ...

[Leah]

Lovers, real lovers, always live as though they are the only two people in the world. But that is only my definition. I love how soft yet fiery this poem is.

It is hard and maybe impossible to see shadows .. But our hearts can still hold them .. and we can pray they can hear .. and hold us ..

I love your thoughts .. Jasmine

The emotion and hunger for a response from the heart of the other is almost heart-breaking. The frustration for change and healing are also big sentiments that echoe through each line, searching for resolution and a respite from the strain. Good poem.

Gallentry?

This is beautiful, especially the last verse. It conveys so much. You are able to use language in a very subtle way.
