Friendship
Silence
This whiney little rant was intended to be published just before the verification issues began. It's a gentle, slightly humorous reminder that I really appreciate comments. The rhyme meter follows Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence" The video above is Disturbed's version, which hits hard. I suppose my poem could be labeled a parody. Enjoy! Hello Vocal, how've you been? I wrote a story here again Because I thought it might get some reads Maybe some comments, but my heart, it bleeds 'Cause my thinking was, sadly, off the mark It was a lark. For all I read was silence. And so, I waited for an hour I used the time to take a show'r, Shave off the stubble, put some clean clothes on, Had me some coffee and when that was gone, I sat back down to answer all my friends, But that depends On comments left, not silence. And now the day is halfway gone. I think I may be catching on. The story sucks, or maybe it's just me Thinking someone might leave words for me, Just to say, hey buddy, this was good! I understood! But naught there was - just silence. Not long from now, evening sets in And I'll reset my brain again. Perhaps I'll write another tale or two For someone who is waiting for me to, But I know, tomorrow, here I'll be, Because, you see, Much can be said, with silence. So thanks to those who took the time To read this rant disguised as rhyme I know I shouldn/'t publish it at all, But my good judgment's here behind this wall, And I've never really had much of a knack For holding back. I'm just no good at silence. ***

Between the Together an' Apart. Top Story - July 2026.
Ah started writin' this tae tell ye summit today How ye make me feel, how Ah ken it's real An' no jist daft in ma auld bald heid After so long thegither, all kinds o' weather It makes sense tae stop, an' appreciate ma lot That yer still who Ah want an' need Ah ken Ah'm no easy tae live wae, Ah'm no very easy tae love at times this ain't no fairytale or Disney, no love is Ah'm sorry as well, Ah or we didnae sail well When the choppiest o' seas were avoidable But Ah am an' always will be, tryin' ma best, love. ma heart beats quicker... Knowin' That the stillness Oh the stillness The quietness Meditative but paralysing silence will be filled with yer presence once again No long noo Between the together an' apart
