Silence

Music always ends in silence

For the man who stands but to hide,

Careless for all except memory,

Her careless silence, head on his chest

And that is how he wants it, how he needs it.

Careless or carefree?

This one strikes a chime that keeps on going keeps me wondering what music was playing before, what was she saying?

[Linear]

So sweet is the need for this silence, a true loves heart, to rest her head upon my breast, to hear the beat that steady throb of passions spent.

A most wonderful poem

I like the concise element to this, the resonance of so few lines, blistering the heart and ears leading forth to the needed silence lol
Beautifully expressed love!

very powerful 5 lines! there's nothing after the music for those of us hiding. it reminds me of the "fat lady singing"...the music, but what is after that. this is a deep write. beautiful!

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

the astounding part of this is the imagery ~ for me it's drawn in still immmobility of a clay presentation of the static form of being~ a bronze sculpture in a garden filled with echoes but no other motion~

"For the man who stands but to hide"
A nice line! Many different levels of meaning to this one.

This sounds like a song in itself
And I've never seen writing go so many places in 5 lines

Back off man. Too real.
shaking spooky in a real
another freaky take is
Music plays on like a god blessed wonder
pounding the stuck in now
silence with two
or I like this trip
all I want,
maybe
kiss me divine
or just juxtapose me
put me on the moon.
I love her and I don't believe in divine
