Love is a fundamental part of being human. We practically all experience it, and we almost all wish for it. My inspiration for this poem was love. Silent Love. Maybe unrequited in some ways, however fully returned ten-fold in others. My point in this poem, in the end, was that I’d hope to have the clarity of what my love life was like. I’d hope to know without a shadow of a doubt that I truly lived and didn’t waste a second of my love life.
I’d love for readers to see into my personal life. To see how madly in love we can become, to the point where we start to pay attention to the minutia of a moment that really.. isn’t as insignificant as it might’ve been before. When you’re hoping for the closure of a fully lived life, whatever that fully lived life might be to you, love and other people can be a large part of it.
Sh
Close your lips
Softly
Solemnly
Quietly
Never been a believer,
But this feeling
The air
It feels Sweet
Even when I Shy Away
Even when I can’t Keep Away
You never judge me
Because you’re you
In your complete, loving entirety
Always you.
And I have to ask,
for you to pause.
So I can think.
So I can take in your Beauty,
Not Filtered by your words.
A voice,
A reason,
I want but have neither
I Only have an empty mind that begs
For sweet, silent eternity
Because when those lips of yours close,
and the doors to our Lives are Shut
all I want is to hear you breathe
To Know you were alive
And that so was I.
