[hometext] => I could hear her hearts whisper--From any place, any time of day--Until the crescendo of silence--Took her love away
[bodytext] => ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sounds of Silence Oh how I hate silence The sounds of empty air! For surely they speak of loneliness Coming days of pain and despair! Once we shared unrestrained passion Felt each others overwhelming need Two hearts desperate to touch Consumed with lustful greed Then the expressions of our love Were so easily heard Each moment was precious Our hearts savored every word Then came a subtle injection of silence The harbinger of rejection That soon muted our hearts And witheld our affection Now no matter what we write What we try to do The silence is there to veil The love of me and you And now our hearts are afraid One no longer holds the other dear Indeed silence has stolen The words we most long to hear Words not expressed with lips Or a mind could compose But the recitation of the heart Of a most beautiful prose Let’s take away this sound of silence That so effectively masks our heart And let us free ourselves of this loneliness That tears us apart Russ [comments] => 3 [counter] => 148 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Lone_er [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
