The Quiet Place

I have a hole
where my quiet place
should be

Everyone needs the locus
of calm and contentment
found inside

But mine is missing
I have never had one
that I recall

Always rushing to
and fro
in my mind
like traffic on
a resort road

Where is
What is
the quiet place

I wish to find one
I have tried

in sex
in love
in someone's lovely soul's duvet

But I always lose it
Because I don't have it
in me


I will go away from life and love
now

into the hole and
I will discover the
quiet place

Becasue
if I don't

This
cacophonous cavern
in my soul
will consume me.

Thank you for this.

Thank you all for your warm comments. This poem means a lot to me. I feel I am filling that void but sometimes it is still there.

PainSister: You are very welcome. ~hugs to you~

Love it Thank you John

Nice, can almost feel your pain.

Heartbreakingly beautiful Master.

Sadening and heartfelt John... Just glad to read you are starting to fill that hole... i can only hope it fills more and over flows as you truly deserve it...

hug and a Kiss

You write some really beautiful things, John - I've not commented on much recently, havn't taken time to read much - but this is lovely and the last one I read of yours (can't remember - a first arranged meeting - a first night together) - is absolutely stunning. Thank you.

Awwww moptop! thanks sweetie. I appreciate your kind words. The name of the other poem is The Weekend, and I posted another called The Scent of Heather.

I am blessed every day by the peopl of this forum.

You are lovely sweet.

Thanks again

And Snowflake,

And a roomful of hugs and kisses to you my dear.
