Storm

[Appy]

~ Due to some great help from Morgane and Wyvern I'm re-posting my latest poem, originally titled as "Rock", now titled "Storm".. thanks for helping me decide on a new title! ~


Storm


Please

be silent

don't say a word


I cannot concentrate
on What you are saying..
Mindless babbling;
uninteresting matters

A frown on my forehead
for having to ask you
again what you said
or what you really meant

Arguing about nothing
Annoyance through wording
Increasing distance
with every syllable


But

be silent

don't say a word


I'm concentrating
on us touching..
Feelings close in;
only you matters

A smile on my lips
for experiencing warmth
again from your body
or your breath on my cheek

Tranquility, doing nothing
Relaxing without a word
Increasing closeness
with every touch



..I love you

my solid rock
and safety lock;

in every storm of emotions..

I think that this is an excellent poem, Appy. I particularly like how arguments are dismissed by the narrator for the tranquility of simply touching, and also love the very original and intriguing metaphor at the end. I found the placement of the sentence "... I love you." on it's own after the three stanzas dealing with touch to be very evocative and touching as well.

 

Well done.
