Yes, silence is often the most deafening sound of them all.

Haim Kadman Dec 2, 2009, 1:47pm UTC

You must have experienced too Ruthi, and thanks so much for your kind comment.

Ruthi C. Dec 2, 2009, 3:58pm UTC

Yes Haim, I have, but even if I had not, the voice of your words wouldn't fall silent.

Haim Kadman Dec 3, 2009, 10:09am UTC

Ruthi C. Jan 5, 2010, 1:18am UTC

That can be read a couple of ways, not all of them nice!

Haim Kadman Dec 2, 2009, 2:45pm UTC

Really Charles, I meant just one way...

Charles T. Dec 2, 2009, 2:57pm UTC

ahh, you must have been far luckier in love than I when younger! I'm getting over the cynicism now because of a good woman but before....

Haim Kadman Dec 3, 2009, 10:09am UTC

Then you're the lucky one Charles!

The crushing weight of confinement within hunger for connection. When disregarded and deemed needy, alone proves to be enriching.

Self preservation regarded as broody makes for good poetry.

That's true Adrian it does push one to his utmost. But just like anyone, I wish to reach even higher.

And will the walls come tumbling down? Nice work my friend.

Haim Kadman Dec 3, 2009, 10:17am UTC

They fell long ago dear David, but there was no one to pick up the fruits.

sounds like a dosido
dos a dos
back to back
a dance where couples circle but do not really meet
two towers
Thundering silence
neat but not sweet

Haim Kadman Dec 4, 2009, 2:20am UTC

Well, yes that must be it... thanks so much Janny.

This is a great poem, and I love the title you chose for it as well.

Haim Kadman Dec 8, 2009, 3:03pm UTC

I love that title too Christine and the whole concept of circling walls like the children of Israel, and the gospel songs.

((( I always felt...you were quite talented as a snippet poet...so much in such a small amount of thought! )))

Haim Kadman Jan 26, 2010, 3:10pm UTC

Hello dear Charity, thanks for your kind appraisal. I don't consider myself as a poet though I do like snippets; but I regard it as prose, which enables me to say what I wish in a few words.
