Poetic T Oct 2014
Two drips hang from opposite taps
Debating if they should just
"Hang around"
Or if they should take
"The fall"
The moments past, silence
Between both, then one spoke,
"Don't you wish to be more"
"More than what"
He replied,
"More than what we are"
"We are what we are, drips"
Nothing
More
Nothing
Less
"But if we were to let go, a leap of faith"
"Faith in what"
"We will be more Than before"
Silence one again fell,
Neither wanted to fall first
For what if  they released upon white
Dripped,
Landed,
Splashed,
Upon the basin, then nothing,
Just evaporating, Less than they were before,
"I may be a drip"
"But hanging here looking at four walls"
"There is more to life"
"Than just hanging around,
"I want more"
And with that he edged closer now
Falling
Free,
Released,
From that burden called the tap,
He slid down
Porcelain white,
Then down the drain out of sight,
Echoes heard from down below
"Come on join us all"
"Just let go"
But he was scared, he feared letting go
"I cant, I won't, I'm scared"
And as the echo's faded,
He stayed still
"I'm afraid of heights"
"I'm all alone"
Then moments past, and another
Drip did grow from the opposite tap.
"So old timer what do we do for fun"
Debating if they should just
"Hang around"
Or if there was more to life  
"Why not fall, see what is beyond
"The plug hole"
The moments past, silence
Between both, then one spoke
"Don't you wish to be more"
**And so silence did fall again once more..

there is something in my heart that is aching

somewhere deep down.

there were echoes of your name

my head can't stop hearing
Natalie Gamble Oct 2014
I love you when you're not here
And I love you when you're with her
But when I hold you tight
When you're all mine
I crave something, something more.
Your hands gentle on my waist
Your breath I caress with my lips
It's just like the fourth of July
Cause you're the silence and the echo
Of fireworks I've known before.

And I'm stuck wishing I felt more.

When I hear your voice
The flowers come into bloom
And sing a spring song

When your echo fades
The snow settles on my heart
And I hibernate
I felt inspired after listening to a beautiful choir.

You are the stone thrown
into the depths of my river,
the subtle unsettling
upon my surface.
As you sink below my water,
don't fear that you may disappear
like all the secrets beneath--
from you the
stillness in my bones
ripples out and echoes sweet
from the deepness
that lives inside.
Eleanor Rigby Sep 2014
My absence is forgotten
And so is my presence.
The sound I make is unheard,
The words I speak are noise
To your ears.
My love is unwanted
But so is my hate
And so is my indifference.
I am flesh and bones
In the shape of a ghost,
A shadow of a shadow,
The echo of an echo of an echo...

Your precious words are an echo
Of what the heart wants to say
Only to find voice through the ink
Which fills up the blank pages
Sketching a picture with words
The echo is etched forever
