Here, Now, Forever

In my silence.
I seek nothingness of mind,
Leaving this irrelevance undefined.
Back off with your rules fool,
Back off with your jive.
While you argue with me i'll just leave you behind,
In my silence.

I seek truth,
In my nothingness of mind,
Truth in my thoughtless bliss.
I want to kiss your beauty,
What I cant grasp, beyond my thought,
Beyond my fears.
In this silence I believe.

Fine by me If you like me not,
In truth,
I haven't given it much thought.
I've been too busy with my silence.
Would you like to join me?

Love is God. Love is war. Love is what your life is for.

Beautiful piece of wandering verse; too subtle to snare most, but I find myself re-reading it and enjoying it more each time. I love the ending!!!

Keep up the good work.

I enjoyed much these words found in your silence.  This was deep writing.  Thank you.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.
