Silent Night

~poet at night~ I lay here in the dark all alone with my thoughts Gazing up where the stars hang above Solitude my best friend, The tides reach my toes ---Inhale and exhale is how it goes I found the most relaxing breath My dreams at this point are all I have left The air blows and hardens the tips on my chest I let my mind wonder about the man I love Dwelling over the feelings only I know of Allowing my mind to drifts into the ocean of salted waters Drifting away peacefully-- The waves carry poetic whispers into my ear At last my heart broke every code coming from; the silent windtalker I close my eyes to feel the pain locked in my soul Water rising up, grabbing at my free will by the hand In comfort and solace, this night Floating with tensions to release what I log in and log out Wakening up to the screams of a life and its poetic eyes Melting my heart away, the wind and its poetic cries Lost at sea every night, waking up to the still of the night When indeed alone--- I found myself in the arms of solitude by; P.D.

Beautiful poem, Linda. Our thoughts can certainly drift of to so many uncharted waters as we lay in bed at night. Some are calm and some are quite turbulent. Love will always bring us back to shore safely. My prayers are with you, my friend.... Robert.

I have enjoyed well because you worded well. The line " I found my .......at night', practically happens to many poets. Thanks for sharing, bl

I'm sorry. It's taking me a few moments to get over the line, "The air blows and hardens the tips of my chest". WHEW!! I could offer some suggestions to clean up the rhytym but it was entered as free verse so I can't pass judgement. But it was still a greatly enjoyable poem. Well done. :-)

You put so much of yourself into this piece that I just felt like telling you that no matter what happens in the future you are amazing and deserve the best. The pain you feel sometimes and the way you express it as well as the love. How can anyone resist it? In my opinion, after getting to know you better and reading your works, it's almost unfair to other woman that you even exist. Anyone who can't see that is condemned to stupidity by me and everyone else on this site. Just wanted u to know.

You, my dear, are amazing. I think a part of you knew I would read this one soon. The title drew me in and as always your words and style fuel my infatuation with that brilliant mind of yours. Great job! Also the one you commented on was written in impulse in 5 mins. turned out okay. lol Oh and I left you a pic comment on facebook. Something I thought you'd enjoy.. lol Amazing piece. Loved it.
