Hush of loneliness
the silence in my heart
lost beats
wandering
looking for you
in all the places
that used to be ours
calling your name
hoping somewhere
somehow
you will answer
once again

(Written for Tuesday Writing Prompt at The GoDogGo Cafe. Check it out and join us!
A writer lives
in a world of silence
sometimes welcome calm
other times deafening torment
the heart may beat
words falling into place
like good little soldiers
or it may stutter and stammer
at a loss to find rhythm
or any sense
wretched cycles
from morning’s light
to midnight darkness
absent sounds of a soul
searching for a breath of life

Sometimes silence
becomes my breath of salvation
offering everything and anything
abundant pleasure
Sometimes silence
eats me alive
leaving behind
only the smallest of crumbs
Sometimes silence
hears my heartbeat
holds it close
knowing its truth
Sometimes silence
steals my happiness
leaving tears as footprints
on a dark trail
Sometimes silence
walks beside me
the lone friend
reassurance of all I am
Sometimes silence
leaves me stranded
bereft in thoughts
of who am I

Sometimes
the silence
eats every bite of me
other times
it gently bathes me
washing away
the kicked up dirt
and soothing
the soreness
of everyday life
