Whispers of Your Soul

I wanted to hear your whisper Yet I could only hear you shout Your soul filled with all it's turmoil Filled my own heart with so much doubt By holding tightly to our pain Silence became extremely loud The softer notes within reason Couldn't be heard above our proud Were we lovers of the darkness Cutting through silence with our knives Shredding perceived insecurities In hopes of saving our own lives Some dances were not meant to be I heard the anguish in your voice You took a walk, didn't look back Loving another was your choice Then I heard a different whisper Bubble up, from inside of me Lessons learned, from a broken heart Meant freedom from insanity

A painful freedom; but a necessary one it seems. I cannot imagine the diversity of your mind.... amazing

The New Year rewards you with blessings from your Muse I see. My friend, this is a gem of deep understanding and pain. Only one that has felt this deep pain could express it so very well! I saw my past so vividly in this fine piece! So excellently written and inspired! A super 7 from me...

The entire poem is fantastic, but I especially love the second stanza. Pride always precedes disaster.

Love can drive us crazy sometimes, and not in a good way... You've expressed those frustrations so well here... A nicely rhymed and written quatrain poem, Rick. Good luck in Gail's contest!
