Sifted of Silences

Contributed by youknowwho on Thursday, 2nd December 2004 @ 04:45:34 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



Sifted of my vaguest memories
I only remember your face lit by my cigarette
The silence that drove me
and drew me into being content with standing

Frozen still in a winter storm
Stuck into a frame of loose fingers to a pen
a paper in my palm that is always void of poetic verse

Swollen and sensitive to touch
A bruised conscience
Lost in a flux of words that were never spoken

A fleeting moral value that
escaped from my impressionable youth
Aged to a blemished contentment
with standing so perfectly still

This as all things
escaped from my grasp in a winter storm

Goodness, you know how to grab a reader's attention, hold it firmly, and then set it down gently. What a write! Bravo!
Going to check more of your stuff.
Wow.
