Your silence
is my favourite sound.
Liquidised thoughts about you
form a poisonous drink
that I abuse every day.
My palm turns into a fist
as I clench my fingers
around a tumbler,
filled with melted amber
that fits my life
so well.
– Chatty Owl –
Bravo!!!
Drawn to the strong silent type? 🙂
Yes 😛
Passion and hate; opposites are so attractive when we are in love. You have some great poetry here and an industry of followers and comment dialogue. It must be so tiring. Where do you find the time to connect with so many people?
I thought I would be a brave lab rat and leave a comment. It’s time to scurry away now…………….
Hmmm. You touched a good subject. I am not spending that much time here as it seems. I post quite rarely and it gives me time to respond to people in between posts. So yeah… But then again, im EXTREMELY good at multitasking and getting things done fast, so i guess it comes down to that as well.
Im glad you braved up and visited me.
Braved up is not quite how I would of put it, but hey, if it floats your boat who am I to argue.
Great work – as usual!!
Thanks dear!
Ah! You’ve got a new look! Elegant but understated.
Have you ever done a poetry reading before? I can only imagine your voice enunciating each word with utter carefulness, such tones to highlight and dissect. You should know that this isn’t empty flattery, Chatty, if your written words resound so unspoken, what will you voice do to us?
Oh dear, that’s flattery alright! Yes, I did some spoken word, actually. It’s somewhere on my blog in archives. But trust me, it’s not worth listening, haha. I guess it wasn’t a big success, but I have ideas how to make it better, so maybe some time in the future I will try again!
Never cease to amaze and inspire
Thank you.. Such a kind thing to say..
The truth can sometimes hurt but it can also be kind at times
‘Tis pure bliss to read you dark and sweet words…I bet you have nice socks as well.
Oh thank you, mister. Yeah, my socks are the best.
Thought provoking look at an addiction well written. Thanks got sharing.
S:)
Thanks for stopping by. Its great to see that others enjoy my words!
I love how you string your words into an emotion laden movie that just bursts into my mind, very well done
Thank you so much.
🙂 you’re welcome
Oh this is interesting. Sounds like so full of… um… not hate but like hate and longing. How the liquid amber is molded into the shape of it all. Very cool Owlie. 🙂
Maybe not hate. Vanity and arrogance maybe? 🙂
Ahh yes. That’s it. 🙂
gorgeous
Thank you, Paul.
Think you provoke more than thirst and a beautiful finish x
Then im one happy owl…
as you should be 🙂 x
At least not empty handed 😉
At least that 🙂
I can feel, taste and see this entire thing ❤️
Aww thanks.
I thought your favourite sound was my voice in the morning, maybe I should just stay silent then 😉
Also, pour me one while your at it!
Silent? Don’t you dare, darling…
You know me, I’m a talker hahaha! 😛
Melted amber-lovely picture. A comforting warmth as you swallow I’m sure.
Keep well Miss Owl.
Your comments are poems themselves. Thank you for being such a wonderful support.
My absolute pleasure Miss Owl. Always love to hear your mind and heart dancing across the cyber ‘page’.
Empty minded but full hearted…
Maybye silence is of awaiting answer?
Probably. Yeah, you might be right actually.
I have no words… just admiration of how you are making me feel as I read your words…
xoox
Thanks Sofia… It makes me happy to see that others enjoy my words.
I do and I will try to better at leaving comments… You are so talented and gifted.
Keep up the good work.
xoox

Exactly what i wanted.
A very touching, powerful write. I love the way you ended it.
Thanks. Was wondering if it doesnt sound rushed though. Maybe not.
Wonderful write…
Thanks darling..
