Our shoulders rest together,

Kissing for our lips

Our lips which mouth the

Words on our pages.

We don’t need to speak

We let our love do that....

Silence is a man

A man who wraps me in its arms

A man with a gentle hush, a quiet charm.

A man with no need for words.

A man with no need for sound.

With him, In this soft space, I’m safe.

He holds me close, without a plea.

I feel with him more free than ever.

Silence, tender and serene.

With him, I find the peace I've always seen.

Silence is a man....

Curled up in a comfy chair. It’s cold outside, but warm here. Music, silent to the rest of the room, wraps around my mind, soft like a blanket.

I don’t even like this song.

But I’m not listening to it, not really. For the first time in a while, my head’s empty. Quiet. It’s so comfortable, so peaceful.

My mind’s empty, yet there’s no void. My head’s muffled, yet I’m not concerned. No thoughts. N...

The sun streamed through my bedroom window, warming my face and nudging me toward consciousness. Another day in our small town, another day filled with youth group meetings, scripture memorization, and that all-too-familiar struggle of wanting to be a good Christian girl while harboring a crush on Jason, the quintessential golden boy of my high school. He was kind and funny, a perfect fit in the m...

I feel a comfort at libraries

It may seem odd

The fact that I want to spend hours on end just in a library

But I feel a safety around borrowed books like no other

As if being around the words of creative authors gives me extra air to breathe

It makes me feel like I finally belong somewhere

I look around the aisles and see stories from people all around the world

It gives me inspiration to...

In a world were no sound could be heard she makes my heart beat until I turned crazy.

dudum

dudum

dudum

dudum

…dudum.

If it’s impossible for us to listen to sounds and melodies she would be the reason I feel the melodies rushing the my body when my heart beats for her. It’s like my body sways from side to side to the beat of my heart. I can feel the rhythm and harmony spread throughout the roo...

That’s the moments

In which I’m wrapped in your arms

Breathing synced to yours

Hearing your heartbeat.

The days when I’m watching

A movie with you

Because you make me smile

When I feel lost sometimes.

My comfortable silence days

Are with you

Because your home.

A poem I hope he may read if I find one like that...

Hiking along the valley of the river

I can hear the water washing away everything that comes within reach

I walk away from the crashing of the river into the woods

Into the trees

As I’m walking the sound of the water is slowly disappearing

And the silence of the forest is filling me up

I can feel the void of noise

I can feel the silence echoing inside my bones

I glance down to see the gr...

The darkest orange hue,

Against the palest blue,

The sun, the sky, the silence,

I do enjoy this peace and quiet,

My breaths and beating heart,

Watching this work of art,

The sun dipping below the peaks,

The gold dancing between the leaves,

The grass with the wind’s song,

A tune for birds to sing along,

The rippling water calm and smooth,

The silence bringing a warming truth,

The beauty o...

Static contaminates the air I breathe.

People Judge each movement I make.

All I need is for people too stop staring at me.

I remain silent for the words are too vast.

I need to remember the sunlight of my past.

Though I’ll never go back to living that life.

The remains of that girl have already died.

I can’t remember how much the silence has prolonged.

Because if I don’t shut my mouth the ...
