walking the streets at night alone trying to heal my heart's ache but in the silence of the shadows, i hear your voice and it's more than my heart can take the hum of the street lights make a lonely sound above me but in the silence of the shadows, i see your face and the pain in my heart won't let me be the sounds of the city at night fill my heart and fill my head but in the silence of the shadows, i see myself and without you, i am all but dead my heart melds into the darkness waiting to see your heart's light in the silence of the shadows hear my voice asking pardon from this night --------------------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

I really like the style you used Sven. How could someone who has so much ahead of him be so sad? Just missing that special someone maybe? Marina |

Sven... I LOVE this sad but oh so perfect poem. you ache divinely in this... this is one of my favs by you. powerful emotions in this!! very well written take care poetice prince  jm Is it too much to find an answer, Is it too much to hold you close. Is it too much to find a reason, Is it too much to free my soul -- From self control ... And I know you're always waiting for me ... You take me far away, And I know you're holding me ... And it's better now ... ~vertical horizon~ |

Sad and poignantly beautiful. I could almost hear your footsteps on the sidewalk!  |

I did hear them scuffling, trying to find a footing in the rising sea of pain. Beautiful piece hon, cheer up. It will work out soon *hugs* A heart and soul are not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

You've written this scene right into my mind, Sven...so acutely the aching. Beautiful words and message. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Sven.... Excellent writing, my friend. These words speak volumes. I am sure that your pardon will be granted....how could she refuse such a heartfelt plea? Best of luck to you... Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

Sven~ Your words speak to a lot of hearts. Sometimes the silence is the right words waiting to happen. You are correct, we need to listen and wait. Beautiful thoughts. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
