In the Still Silence

In the still silence I feel you breathing but you aren’t with me. I feel you holding me and you aren’t even next to me. I catch you staring at me but you haven’t even talked to me for weeks. In the still of the silence I lose my mind. I am wrapped up in delusion and tucked away with denial. Where are you? Where am I without you? Why am I without you? How am I without you? I cannot be without you. But here in the stillness I lay awake, undeniably, disagreeably, silently without you.

SO nice, Maya, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
