Your silence frightens me to make resolve whenever winters lay to break our bonds. For when I speak to darkness I dissolve, not knowing then the way your heart responds. How should I read the pictures in my eyes that blare their ugly colors in my sleep when you do not but utter one word's highs, and I am left to ponder what you keep? And if no thoughts, then just one whispered start. Oh, just to know the dreams which you impart. I ask you, if you wish to keep me sane but speak one syllable to ease my brain. |

well...much for me to think about here... I never figured my silences hurt anyone either, but as always you made me think. sigh...I should cut you a check. This smacks of the pain of not knowing. ouch. |

A nonresponsive lover can cut you deep. I know this from experience. Well said. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

I was going to leave no response here, to continue the thread of silence. |

Oh, just to know the dreams which you impart. ============================== *whispered butterfly sigh* (the moth is sighing too)  No one has ever shown me how to see the world the way I see it now ... |

They say "silence is golden", but it feels more like cold steel to me. Well done. Chris "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

Man do I ever KNOW the pain of silence. I think silence can cut deeper than the sharpest blade, especially when weilded by one that you love. I think I'll post my own "Silence" poem now...Thanks. Tammy |

Michael, silence does hurt, doesn't it? Sometimes, that is......... "Love makes the world go around" |

Sometimes, one word will suffice. My heart understands this poem as if it were my own. |

Thanks, everyone. I clipped the sonnet of two lines intentionally so that you wouldn't feel closure from it. Glad you all found something in this poem to relate to. Mike |

silence can really pain someone, and it's what I know on the giving end |
