Silent Sounds

I'd hold you tight, as you slept, hearts beating as one, back to chest. Your breath warm upon my hand, while holding you tight, best I can. No sleep for me, your sounds I see, holding you tight, just you and me.

Susan, forgive me for my silence on your reply. You completely satisfied my questions and comments. Thank you..i like the diversity im able to achieve..it just boggles' my mind that a work can be simple as a 5th grader but has the character to receive acknowledgment..your thoughtful words will motivate, my mind and pen..but most importantly, keep me at ease with what's created..rather simple and short, or complex and extended..i so appreciate the time and advice you have given to me.God bless you always my friend.

Thank you for your kind words, Kenneth. Simplicity can be stunning and simplicity doesn’t mean it lacks depth. Simplicity can allow the beauty of intimate emotions to breath, captivate and shine, as in your lovely poem, without getting lost in the weeds. Sometimes less is more. As far as the difference between 1st and 2nd.. your guess is as good as mine, my friend. Continue to explore your talent and your talent will grow in brilliance, I’m sure. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan
