    An Almost Awkward Silence

     Dependent upon your words,
    I wait to hear.
    Something ressurected from my 
    Childhood hopes.
    Locked beneath my own pages,
    I've waited for this.

    Your eyes cheat me.

    They hug your cheeks and 
    Battly monotonously.
    For the sake of sanity,
    Say those words.

    Nervous tensions clutch me,
    Drown my securities,
    Drain the integrity of my anticipation.

    I watch your lips,
    Waiting.
    Rythmical trembles of my chest
    Choke me, dismantle
    my motor skills.

    I should have known this.

    love that line "dismantle my motor skills". i know what this feels like. usually happens on an ordinary day at work where im just plugging away and someone walks in and just punches me in the face with her beauty. anyway..love the anticipation and tension you build here as the words flow. good job kid

    Absolutly wonderful, if there was a rating of 20 i would give you that for this one. But it only goes to 10 but still it is wonderful.

    Can you make yourself more attractively vulnerable? You really have this game figured out, don't you. Forgive the years between us, I'm already trapped in a crush. Poet or coquette, I'm under your spell, write on! 10+

    The word is supposed to say "battle" :( Sorry! Simple Typo!

    Waiting for those three simple, but oh so powerful words can be a pain, but I love the way you described it. . . er, uh, if I understood it properly.

    Very nice work. I really like your word use, very imaginative.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
