Between the Silence

After the first rain, clear , pungent and sweet In the crisp morning air I walk down my street I walk through aromas of ground coffee beans I walk through the scent of rising sour yeast , and oven-baked bread 's fresh wafting release. I stroll down the lane into blue orchid fields midst birdsongs ,old cedars ,and shrubbery trees In solitude I sit , arms wrapped around my knees Your lap not my companion, just me and the breeze The brisky breeze blows softly like your warm breath in my hair Taking me to moments , moments you were here. Those undisturbed moments , when our hands lightly brushed Where whispers became still to our parting lips 'slight touch Taking me to moments where in our thoughts We've known The three words weren't uttered,but our hearts have been shown..

Between the silence....Very nice title. In the rhythm of silence, I feel only you...Oh my God, you are great and your every creation is amazing....To read your poem, I have understood three words 'YOU' and 'GOD'...The Almighty bless you. Best wishes from my soul...

Beautiful and tantalizing to the senses, dear. That last line is sweet. Hugs

Your words speak with the power of love suffering and your mind set flows onto the page and we can relate with you and where your words lead us. A somewhat surreal over the edge mixture of emotions that speak of love within the author's heart. Emile.

It feels like I was taking that stroll, with how you wrote your lines, Charma-- isn't it amazing how subtle things, even the smallest ones, can seem to evoke so much memories? Another lovely poem of yours that I really enjoyed. Just an extra "t" for to in the 3rd to the last line. hug sweet Christina for me, replied to what you said in Debbie's blog, how time flies indeed! She's going to school already!

Charmaine, lovely imagery from start to end... actions speaks louder than words but I prefer with actions there's a firm declaration... Well-written.. I like the lines with the yeast and the orchids best! If given the chance, I would like to meet you also and PAul.. ~Olive ELoisa =)

Often there is no need to say "I love you"; it is understood, felt within. This is another beautiful poem in which you tempt us with delightful imagery. A fav and top rating it merits. All the best. // paul
