I SAVOURED SILENCE

11 09 01

I savoured silence
like the last bite
of black forest cake

Now that I am hungry
I wish it were the voices
I had savoured

We spell it with a "u" where I come from.

This is so good bro... :) It is good to read you again, and congrats, on what's happening in your writers career. I'm very proud of you, This poem, although it's written earlier, could fit perfectly for that moment, you're right in now... But know words, are forever pressed on paper, also for us to read and enjoy on another way... :) and I will be one of those who of course is interested. So much said, and conveyed with the brilliance of little, it's purity. Well done, you are a master brain. ;)

Thanks so much sis, I'm rarely able to get my thoughts down as succinctly as I have here...I did decide to re-introduce it, as it is reflective of my state-of-mind these days...thanks so much for your support and your kind words...there's no way I'd be where I am without it :)

You are very welcome sweet bro! -x-

Ooh, this is simple, yet the message that resounds in it is very deep. I'm not sure what exactly you meant when you wrote this, but I think the beauty of this piece is that its like a mirror: in your words, I can see my life and things I'm struggling with. The last stanza is so powerful. I can see many different possible meanings behind these words. I absolutely adore this. Fantastic write. Absolutely brilliant. I'm a huge fan of your work.

I'm glad you like like it^^ I'm not entirely sure myself but I think there's a sense of loss or alienation in there...and thank you for the kind words, that means a lot :)

Where I'm from we dropped the u cause we're a lazy bunch. ;)

Thing is we're satiated by voices so quickly and then thrive the silence. Savory write...

[kublakhan27]

Haha That's okay, half the country doesn't bother with it either, but I'm a perfectionist ;) Thank you Frieda...this one is a little more, how should I put it, substantial than the last few...

These are words to be savoured^_^
The cruel irony that comes with being an introvert is that we crave the very company that exhausts us, and are sustained by the solitude that keeps us in doubt.

Wow...I could not have said it better myself...I'm glad you could relate ^_^
