mute

05/2013

our elite touch

the electric currents

passing between us

helps to enshroud

the damage

the need 

to say goodbye

remains lodged

in my throat

I dare not speak it

venturing not to

bring closure

upon blinding myself

to infraction 

my version of the truth

remains irrelevant

taking away any chance

of redemption 

I will instead 

hide my face

I will obscure

my pallid form

in the billowing folds

of your dark desire

Beautiful poetry, to hide in her darker moods almost, and to be almost invisible, by the pain, and love felt the same time... both entangled into eachother.

Joshua, you have magic to your pen... truly.

Your six last lines, say it all to me, how sweet you are, to do this for someone whom you love.
To sacrifice, for love, is sometimes being totally in muted state... yes.

I felt this one, pretty well. You have that little gift, to bring words over into the right direction, and your fans... truly a fantastic piece xx

Silence can seem to be the way to go and in reality it feels like the best choice, but in the end it usually just prolongs the inevitable. The pain is felt, and matters of the heart are never easy.

wow, this one has imagery that burns like the passion that drives it...

strong feeling evoked from this.

Your silence...is it to protect your truth feelings? Sacrificing redemption to keep the peace. I dunno sweetie...I felt the pain in this poem. I felt your heartbreak too. But when does silence turn into self-sacrifice? Like most of here on the café...I think you wear your heart on your sleeve. x
