Words are redundant
When I converse with you
Words are not needed
When I speak to you
Words seem inadequate
When I communicate with you

I know you hear me
As my silences speak
When I am silent
I say the most
I talk to you in my mind
You hear me in your head

Now, that's what I call good communication. Unfortunately, not every couple has it.

I like Daniel's comment for the obvious reasons. Haha. This was great. Unfortanutely I'm one of those people who want shut up. I wish I could communicate more along these lines. Once again, an excellent poem!

I love your use of repitition to convey peace rather than monotony. Lilting and evocative, I too, prefer silent chats or those on the page.

Thanks Martha, Shaunee, William, Carol, Serina, amanda and Vicky.

Somehow this kind of communication happens where wordsare not needed, spoken words that is.

Daniel....what you call voices in the head is that which is heard by the other...

Strange, isn't it. But it is not.
