Love - 16

It is when your silence starts to speak
That your love feels deprived

Love in certain situations can be seen in silence yet words seem to be more dominant coupled with actions to show your love for a certain person. In cases troubled times occur, I think silence is more appropriate to consider to give way to calmness.

A poem of great depth. Powerful lines to convey the effect of silence on love. Sometimes silence can talk much, speaks louder than voice in certain circumstances. However, there are times when this is misinterpreted. It boils down still to how the person fully grasp the situation.

Wow! I have been overwhelmed by your in-depth analysis of this couplet. As you would have noticed reading my poems, I choose always to stand close to life in my poems. This comes to me naturally, unconsciously. This is not a deliberate line of thought. Even in my poems based on epics, my interpretation of the story/situation have been close to life. I feel honoured that you have understood this fact very clearly.

Nothing to add, nothing to say. Sometimes silence is louder and more expressive than anything, well said

It is common knowledge that Love needs no words to express itself. But once silence regains its voice, deficit in its expressiveness will be evident.
