Silence
Between
eyes
Swirling
surprise
blown minds
Unable to communicate
Reason
There was music and laughter I suppose

search
leave
the game
I saw
We were there
silence erupted
eyes matched
heart and mind
Tired
the far side of June
“Do I know you?”

And I can’t help but think of the past
one-liners fall into the air
burst into nothings
slowly drop-off

under shades
of storms
nothing
skin over bone
I’ll be

Extremely intriguing picture to go with your poem. SOUL-MATE is breath taking from beginning to end. Powerful imagery and wisdom. The last line is terrific:

The element of surprise slowly drop-off
Turning mirrors into shadows
As I leave my reflection
Behind

Love it!

The intricacies of intimacies pursued,imagined, and abandoned writhe through this poem like the "serpents [that]make up the pave way." A mesmerizing heart-scorching read.

In a way, this reminds me of the message in Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sound Of Silence." Nicely done, Mitzi. Love and peace. Regis

some wise dude said women either wound or get wounded. What a thing to say. We are here for celebration and exercising the critical spirit can deepen our pleasure in each other's company. Enough of the high-toned sentiments then, she just couldn't stand the guy! Excusey, Mitzi, a sort of review from you know who! k

quite a touching piece Mitzi. Kind of reminded me of going to family affairs I wasn't really into. Anyway, love that fun note you left, "cruising in a 300m." I love those 300m's, thinking about jumping into one but don't want the payments. Anyway I was standing in the yard one day and a friend of mine pulled up in a White on gray 300m the big Magnum. Man was it cool. Then my neighbors went out and bought one, a pretty dark gray. I'm teased to death but I'm going to stay strong and enjoy having no car payments. G

Silence can roar
and in that roar, it can be a teacher.....
sometimes it is wise to listen.......even to the emptiness......
