silence

[jikan myshkin]

I love silence
If I could I would marry silence
Take it’s sweet bouquet in my arms
And lead it down the isle,
Through the doors of longing
Into the realms of bliss.

I love silence
It surrounds me
When the traffic of my mind
Drifts away.
This is my wedding vow to silence
When the morning comes
You drift away
I’ll seek you in the libraries
And other such prisons of dreams
I will seek but I shall not find
Until it is dark
And you return to my hopeless arms
In your torn wedding gown

[cogs]

really nice. recently, i was thinking how quiet night is. i like the torn gown. i wrote a poem ('rhyme') a few weeks ago, that tried to incorporate a wedding theme. so i appreciate this.

Wow...I adore this...it speaks to my sensibilities somehow...

"I will seek but I shall not find
Until it is dark
And you return to my hopeless arms
In your torn wedding gown"

Tht is the promise of life unfilled with its sturm and drang, is it not?

[Dark Muse]

This is beautiful, you captured the feeling so very well.

Very nice poem about silence

Beautiful ending.

I definitely agree with the sentiment. Sometimes there's nothing nicer than peace and silence.
