Silence reigns from my head to my toes

as i wait

as i wait for...

something

i cannot pull back.

i cannot push forward.

i am...

caught...

caught in between two

opposing...

currents.

(wash me away)

silence

is.

not.

a sin.

silence

is.

not.

a virtue.

silence is just...

the calm before

the storm.

(beat me down)

silence is just...

the...

in between.

(frozen it time...)

silence is...

my way of

begging...

for an answer.

this was beautifully written (yours, not mine) as obviously evidenced by the fact I felt the need to respond. Poems that provoke feeling from their readers and make them think are the ones that really matter. It may hurt, but your poetry is definitely unique and inspiring. I think I might add this to my profile... with credit to you and your poem "not a poem" for inspiring it of course.

thank you for this wonderful you shared with us.

the negation makes it more sad, the imageries are good.

very earnest and heartfelt.

I liked it :-)

You aren't going to write a poem about love, even though you did... enjoyable.

Much love,

Juliet.
