you found a quiet place
hidin in the curve of my bones
where the noise starts to fade
where my pulse slows
and the edges soften
pullin the sharpness from everythin
here
the air settles
round my ribs
like it’s been waitin
it moves in
fills the gaps
that never seem
to have enough room to breathe
and just for a while
it’s enough
there’s a space inside
where things stop rushin
where time doesn’t press
its fingers to my throat
a softness blooms
not from anythin you can touch
but from the quiet
I’ve learned you bring to me
it’s like a breath drawn deep
a pause between heartbeats
where I can’t remember
if Ive ever been this full
or this empty
and the weight of it drifts
like smoke I’m holdin in
before lettin it slip
soft
from my chest
Whether this is a something or a someone, that gift of silence is such a gift. I know that feeling of never enough room to breathe all too well
yeah…it is a gift. the kinda silence that isn’t emptiness but more like a breath you’ve been waitin to take. it’s definitely somethin.
I swear dearest poet we are on similar wavelenghts our muse must be connected it makes me jealous because I thought my muse was exclusive but there is comfort knowing we are connected great write 💕
maybe our muses are passin notes. appreciate it
The descriptions you’ve used here are so powerful:
“you found a quiet place
hidin in the curve of my bones
where the noise starts to fade”
“it moves in
fills the gaps
that never seem
to have enough room to breathe”
“and the weight of it drifts
like smoke I’m holdin in”
It’s hard for me to describe but it’s so easy to connect to your words. May you find this feeling often, everyone needs it.
I hope you find it often too. we all deserve a little quiet.
Oh goodness, this is just beautiful. A true love story, a delicate peace. You made me feel it.
❤k
its wild how love sneaks up on ya but whole different kinda thing when brings moments of peace. appreciate your thoughts. glad ya felt it.
Ooouf, speechless,
it makes me wonder has anyone ever had thoughts and feelings like this for me; of course I have for someone but damn – damn I do not want to leave this earth without being reciprocated or being allowed to receive like this.
Envy s quietness straddles, reigns through and blankets me from head to toes. My soul long for it, so deeply.
This is by far one of the most loveliest print to have ever made me feel something.
Rare creature, I love this, I am imprinted by this.
oh shit. that’s one hell of a compliment. thank you. I never expected it’d be somethin I’d ever receive from someone. I’m definitely not that kinda person who is capable of givin it back. not b/c don’t want it…just ain’t got that kinda calm in me. but I think we all kinda have that desire to be that for someone. appreciate your thoughts. glad it had some impact.
I appreciate and dig your honesty 🫶
