This is a poem I wrote with a friend. It's a "Think and Respond" poem, meaning he wrote a line of two, and then I responded. This a s great way to express yourself! I had a great time writing with him.
Nonsensical Silence
Lover: I've no more language left in my heart
Beloved: But for you, love, I'll make myself utter words of pure love
Lover: Dropping the silence from my lips
Beloved: With my kiss, your silence hits the floor
Lover: My breath giving way to your soft sarcasm
Beloved: I'll love you forever now, I think.
Lover: I want that you should want me to
Beloved: I want you, darling, to stay with me forever
Lover: And how long shall forever last
knowing the lust that lies in the hearts of men
Beloved:As long as the stars burn in the sky, until the moon collides with the earth, stay with me, keep me here, in your loving embrace
Lover: Long as the moon float in the clouds like a balloon she and the wind whispering their love affair between her skirts, the clouds shuffling past in a silent parade of passion
Beloved: And by the light of that moon, that balloon in the sky, undress me, love.
Give way to our own love affair.
Lover: And we shall know truth in our embrace, miles of naked skin to transverse, mingled breath dying between us, the smell of life in this room
and as i have never said a word, the only sound is the drip of passion over us and beyond the open window, the clash of the streets
Beloved: If we stay close, the streets shall not hear our love, but for the sounds of our love are passionate, and the colors are so bright.
Lover: And then there is only you, you and I
and so in our embrace we are alone, and in our minds we are alone. all we have is a love of love, our hunger, our passion
Beloved: Your words mean more to me now than they ever have. We share much more love now. We share a passion that only few in the world encounter.
Lover: Yes, there is truth in our silences
in what we don't say
Beloved: Your silence tells so much!
And I love, shall show you my meaning. I'll express my love for you in ways not sounded on this earth.
Lover: Then, we shall not be beings of this earth
Beloved: We are not!
Lover: The world is lost to us
Beloved: We belong to a place far, far away, you and I. We belong to a world that beholds only us. Our love, our passion.
Lover: Where words give way to touch
Beloved: And where simple touches give way to a greater expression of love...
