The Other Side of Silence

Nothing sweeter, than the quizzical moments
Where our eyes shimmer in shadows, twinkling with wonder
There I observe myself in the highlights of you
When the sounds of our laughter makes music
That wanders along each instep, and tingles in my toes
Lifting me from the ground, in twirls from the floor
Nothing sweeter in this world than the banter of friends
The love that makes sharp twinge and gentle soothe
Where our hearts beat in tune with gasped breath and warm wine
The days pass into mist, as I listen to the new voice of dawn
Listen, for the pale coat of frosted lament that films the air
Nothing sweeter, than I when those questions find voice
And again, I have passed through, to the other side of silence

This is just outstanding. The way you link your thoughts together with just the right words is amazing.

fine lines and imagery here!

I am especially fond of:

"Nothing sweeter in this world than the
banter of friends" ...

WHAT a grand line !

and:

"...days pass into mist, as I listen to the new voice of dawn";

"Nothing sweeter, than ... when those questions find voice
And again, I have passed through, to the other side of silence"

applause!!

Fall in love early, fall in love often.

cutting the night air...listening to the
silence of one's waiting heart for the
sigh of another's soft lips...shuddering
in wait of....
