The Silence Speaks I lay here cradling your head in my lap Seaching each line of your face, as it maps The past of your worries, from brow furrowed deep To the smile on your lips, that is broadened in sleep. The silence speaks quietly, with never a word As the wind is my whisper of calm, when it's heard Through the kiss of your lips, of tender display Ignited are feelings, when loving this way. The power of kissing, this song in my heart Although silent, it travels by lips slight apart. Every movement of you, whether sleep or awake I absorb with my body, breathing you, I intake. In the light of the day, or the darkness of night Held in my arms, away goes the fright Of each new day, tomorrows, unknowns yet to be As eyes trace expressions released, silently. When we touch, you're my song, sweet the sound, so serene Viewing colorful rainbows, hues of reds, blues and greens The road laid before us, not a twist, straight ahead As we drift off, I'm holding, my dreams to be led.

Sigh Maureen that was beautiful really beautiful. "To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you," Joy divison |

Sudhir thank you...I was searching for one of my favorites...when I write them I dont even remember them til I have reread them on and off for a few weeks...it's funny but I dont think about my poems much when writing ..even the rhyming...it's the mood I am in..only when challenged do I have to study the form or pattern...how do you write yours? maybe they discuss this somewhere on here..I am always curious when others say they have writers block or are struggling..I am waiting for that to happen and it's been 18 months now and I get no relief..unless sleeping ~~softly wondering Maureen |

OK Maureen, just one after the other, and one as great as the other! As before, a talent there is, a talent now, and a talent there will ever be. |
