Shattered Silence-No More

********************
Preserve your integrity,
embrace the distress within,
and uncover its essence.
Dive deep into its beginnings,
immerse yourself in the sanguine stream
of your humbled emotions.
Break the silence,
and let pass
of what was lost along the way,
hidden beneath a clumsy
facade of confidence.
I share so much in this halcyon dream;
the clouds have completely cleared,
and now I stand in the shimmering glow
of the enchanting moonlight.
With a passionate heart,
I break the silence.
Silvery saplings shatter,
the stillness that surrounds,
a single spark breaks the cycle
several in limbo masses merge,
whispering spooky sounds
silently, dissolve into darkness.
Harrowing the starry sky.
Silent silhouettes form statues,
stone figurines clogged in darkness,
searching for rhythm,
who will speak?
Trickling Tears stumble on soft cheeks,
Autumn amber leaves gracefully drift
light footsteps on the sapphire floor,
a gloomy graveyard of withered petals,
shadows move silently through the mist.
A cricket cacophony interrupts
and slices through the calm.
beauteous butterflies bask on the bosom.
While the swift, soothing wind
whispers to the soul.
Let my enticing lines lead you
into a delightful tipsiness,
shattering your slumber
and calling forth your shadows.
As night approaches," flirting with fragility"
look up at the stunning sky and smile.
I long to find my destined twin,
just akin to the bright moonlight.
Let me rest my life
gently on your lovely chest,
breaking the quiet with feelings.
I am a vibrant presence –
and you are a pulsating heartbeat,
rekindling the corners of my hidden soul.
Love lingers, boundless and freeing,
a swirl of memories dances in your sight,
the shape of what used to shine.
Do you ever recall
those enchanting moments?
Places we wandered, "I wore Hope"
and what we truly meant to each other.
To break the silence "I taste Love".
