Elusive...

Your silence speaks to me more than your words...

the pauses are not awkward, but moments of deep understanding...

Is this silence going to rule.. or will there be a time

When i get to hear what my heart longs for...

The sound that keeps my spirits alive..

the waves that give me the strength to go on...

Remember , that every time you are silent , the absence of the vibrations,

is pulling at my life strings....

Speak.. for it keeps me alive....

Give me an answer, why is it to you my heart is glued?

Speak.. why is it only me you elude?

somehow silence doesnt do well with me..coz u can always misunderstand..just speak it out and make it clear..and y is it glued to him?? thats coz he eludes u..wonder if the longing will be the same when the eluding part is gone..free

very well written Pri..:)

yes, that's true, silence kills our emotions, hurts us so deeply, cuts like a knife...:)

but when words are spoken, we are relieved and will make us happy...:)

good morning my dear...:)

Thoughts full of introspection and desire. Very well done. I can relate to this with my own experiences. Perhaps she will speak, and all will be right again.

Silence is very elusive, also drives me mad sometimes, but I still love it. This is deep indeed!

I can relate to this one. Nothing worse than not knowing what is going on....

Nicely layered. Silence is often uncomfortable, I think.

This one made me think how easy it is to interject our own thoughts and feelings into that void where the silence is. All that waiting tugs at our patience as we wait to know, hoping it matches what we would like to see there, in that empty space. Very nice.

oh yes, that deep silence that makes one lean in and wonder. It sure can be torturous. Wonderful pondering in this piece.
