Unspoken
There are those times
Moments
When words have been exhausted
There's an unspoken need
That languishes between lovers
Bursting at the seams with want
Yet sitting on one's hands quietly
It's then I write you
Uncertainty waiting to hear back
Then what feels like a lifetime
You respond
Only a few words
Enough though to help me believe
It's all for something
Intimacy
Beautiful silence
An allowance to be

It doesn't come easy for me either Brenda
I thought I was out of poems so I waited
I knew one would eventually come and i was rewarded with this one.
Thank you !!

That vulnerability is something. I look for it in people and then I find it in myself. It's an unbelievable moment when you can connect with someone within the vulnerability.
Your praise means so much to me ...

Exquisite PS. Experience understands these things. Do you have a place where you let your mind rest, away from the hustle & bustle? We all need those places. Words never leave though, do they? Always clambering for attention in the solitude. Enjoyed. Much.

That's a good question Rob.
I live in an ultra noisy city and quiet is a rare commodity.
I do have a park on a river where i spend some quality time often.
Truth is though the hustle and bustle drives me. I'm comfortable in chaos and anarchy. I've always said I'm an opposite of
most humans ..
Your comment means a lot to me

Some people are uncomfortable with silence but I do quite well in it. In matters of the heart however one is often trying to navigate the quiet moments often with wonderful surprises. I take what’s in front of me and when I hit a wall of silence I can’t understand I look for marks and markers, sometimes crushed leaves …
Great comment Jay

I love this, PoetSpeak! I can imagine you, slightly unshaven, in a dimly candlelit, sparsely furnished large room, alone with your thoughts. I like how you've done this with the sporadic bold lettering also. It's certainly atmospheric. I can almost smell the candle wax!

Nice.
I'm in a "calm" state of thinking lately, so this write helps pave the way to continue that. We don't always have to be "loud" to get our messages heard. Sometimes we are judged during our quiet nature too. It's those moments we are truly seen.

I am comfortable too in the company of silence.
It's a place to contemplate and luxuriate.
I'm not surprised by what you've said. You strike me as one who can appreciate introspection and learn from it.
Many thanks for your visit Summer

Yes, people have responded in a positive way.

The two go together and grey has a connective tissue to silence and beauty.

Sharing a type of silence and finding pleasure and contentment in that is unique. The tendency is to fill that space with words.

You definitely captured that need and desire to intimately connect with someone.
Perhaps it's desire, passion, or love, or all three but that need is so strong.
Between two lovers, eagerly waiting for that reply to your words in uncertainty.
And when those words come, even just a few it can be beautiful and feel so good.
It let's you know they are still thinking of you like you are them. Intimately.
Beautiful silence followed by seductive words...

Reading my words and mind again.
You finished off my poem with the exact vibe that lovers feel. It’s indescribable sometimes. Love has its own aura and owns it. As poets we can see into hearts and mind and it’s in our power to say it for those who want to but can’t. That’s what I try to do anyway ….
BIG LIKING YOUR COMMENT KX ..

I was having an aura vibe about you last night.
Nice thoughts. I wonder if you felt it ???

Hey PS:)
Such vulnerability here. Sending out affection outside of their presence - at times can be addicting.
I have a friend of mine who has a constant stream of texts from her love life.
The fighting kind
The flirty kind
The love kind
The sex kind
She loves it. When we have lunch we giggle and catch up - then we read her texts. hahaha
Love her to pieces!!!
Just like this piece amigo - digging this side of you:)

Dear PS,
Silence = anticipation = hot.
When that response finally comes it’s like fireworks. The heart races, stomach flutters and smiles from ear to ear. I enjoyed this write for the memory of these feelings. Lovely. H🌷
