Disquiet
Your silence is deafening
Not even ear-plugs of disdain
Can quieten the echo
That richochets through my heart
Still…

That it does ! With a rhythmic synchronistic beat that can be heard around the universe.

Yes there is something about silence and men…husbands or fathers…yet every generation of women continues to crave something more.

Once our hearts are hit, it is sometimes very hard to fight back…. strength and determination must rule! Love you words and the image!

Beautiful poem, deep and sadly honest. We must be on a similar wave length. I too posted a poem about silence today, but from another perspective. Love, Sharie

Hi Sharie,
Thanks for your words. Funny how that happens isn’t it? I will pop over your way.

in my experience, the echoes are the most difficult to learn not to hear … very moving and tangible.
November 17, 2009 at 3:17 am
yes, how very true. Thanks for adding your voice Purple. I’m pleased you enjoyed my words.

Disquiet,
Left me catching my breath at first. Then I marvelled at the ingenuity that must have gone into the tears spilling from the eye.
Putting it all together, I felt i was in the presence of a multi-faceted great artist.
Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting and arresting photo/animation image. The poem brings me back to those awful silences. Nothing is worse than being so alone and lonely right next to someone who is supposed to be a source of comfort and love… “still…” –john

Hi John. Yes that’s exactly the sentiment. It is funny how even after we may have parted ways from such a relationship, the expectations can still remain…and the silence still aggrevates.In this case I am waiting…still…for the father of my children to find his voice in his parenting of them, but alas the silence pervades.
November 27, 2009 at 10:04 pm
Choice of words… I hope you and your children are well. My own story gets very complicated. The mother of my child (aged 7) and I are somewhat at peace these days. I watch with great interest how my son defines and speaks about the two different worlds he lives in, by his choice. They are quite different worlds between his two homes. So far there’s enough mutual respect. Then again, there are things we simply don’t talk about, and don’t want to, and never will, and that is ok. The good silence has replaced the bad for now. Still…

Well I am glad you have found some way of communicating, with the interests of your son at heart. I can handle the silence, I am just not sure if my daughters will be able to recover as it appears the situation will continue for a while at least. But that is their journey and I am so pleased I can offer them all the need in the meantime.
