troy "..is Golden"; - it really *is*!
In the City, it is expensive; -attainable only by those with the means to create an artificial environment capable of delivering it to them..
-those who can afford to live in "Splendid Isolation", whenever they retreat from the World into their self-styled womb of peace and quiet, without fear of any disturbance, no matter how long they stay secluded.

andrea silence creates a vibe
that stays within those
who have tried it on for size
found that it fit and
locked it up inside

fyngula it was had to know because of the silence, because of the speaking, and anytime it was in his direction his heart leaped because that could mean that the answer was nothing, not a thing was known. but as he wondered, he had that feeling of a sinking heart, like he was being pulled in a direction he didn't want to go and his feet were slipping, even though he was trying to stop it. 000124

sean your head rested on the pillow
beside mine
you are at rest
me?
satiated with happiness

lying...
in silence

flash of light
*crash*
flash of life
silence

now... a photo rested on the pillow
beside mine
you are at rest
me?
wallowing in depression

longing...
for *lack* of silence

to quiet...
my... my thoughts

VCell silence, like confusion
like a pallbearer wandering in the snow
walking in circles around graves
of folks he never knew
searching, for nothing
like dream homes in magazines
no signs of life can be found
footprints near the doorstep have been swept away
like cold shivers
on the vertabrae of my sexuality
the non-existent gray sky
tracing its cloudy hands
down the definition of my thighs
like a view of the ocean
in the frothy green air
residue of a lover in these empty arms
singing hymns to the ocean
confusion drifts away with the silence

SomeoneElse I do not believe that silence in it's entirity exists.
I had once thought that to be speechless was silent and so I spent a day as such.
I noticed how much conversation was had even though my tongue was rested from it's weary travels...

In listening to the sounds outside my window I conversed.
In talking to myself, (a favourite of one such as I), communication was voiced.
My celluar decay and regenation created a noise audible, but just not to I.

But I found silence that day in the absence of a lover.
That distinct and private communication exists not for I.
And I found silence in those who's spirits had died.
They rejoiced not in the exchange of life and self.
I found silence in those that lie.
That fundamental of human respect denied and avenues closed.

Silence, I thought, was a partial thing.
Never wholey established, never completely lacking.

josie this eerie tonicity, consuming, devouring my thought with a screaming tongue.
An unanticipated aggresion of paranoias, fears, hopes, joys, but mostly sorrows, and paranoias, mostly.
but why am i questioning my sanity?
am i deranged? i know I'm not becuase i think I'm not but believing I'm not makes me insane!
The silence prevents me from stillness in my mind.
The tranquility turns to a blare of dittys for my reflections to sing to.
The silence has disallowed my mind to attune with any reasons of content.
I wish the silence never came. Like a child exposed to memories scarring infinitely, silence has questioned my reality, & has thought burned into all of my reason.

Q-Dogg is all there is behind the noise of our mind.
Silence is the peace you find when your water becomes clear.
It is at the begining
And the end
It Exists outside of time
While we are trapped within
Silence is a pathway to greater understanding

stan The most deafening roar that ever befriended be,...or was it the quiet before the storm? I wished for spring and the sound of crickets, locusts, and rabbits knawing on berries and the ever fresh rejuvinator...of spring. But this silence too,...will pass. 000804

mathias . . . . . . . . . . never enough

too much noise crashing about, incessant invader of the peace of consciousness, a swarm of sound pressure levels and modulate frequencies. "buzz buzz" as hamlet said, the world falls away to a deafening buzz as it bathes you in its relentless tide (there's no rest for the wicked, my dear).

no, never enough silence

somebody we used to cuddle
it was so weird the way he never went too far
two days ago i took him to a house i had to babysit. i collected the mail. fed the cat. he was wandering around. changed the cat litter. watered the christmas tree.
we wandered up the stairs and wandered into the bedroom. i looked through the books to see if they had any interesting ones but they were all boring mysteries. he sat on the bed and looked bored. slowly and slowly i appeared in his arms, until i was and all those little intricate steps to getting there were whirring in my mind as i tried really hard to shut my conscience and its annoying shrieks of you stupid fool you are nothing and cannot be here he deserves so much more
i saw a swiss army knife lying on the bedside table and to distract it i opened the blades and toothpick and little serrated saw things. i grabbed his hand and he didn't flinch, at least not until later when i got bold and drew the littlest blade across the part of his hand, the part under the thumb, that cushion-y part. i drew a cross and realized too late it would clot. i drew another one on his right hand and looked at what i had done, his sharp breath still whistling. he held it up and i started sucking on those tiny ribbon cuts and tasting the blood, metallic and wondering what the hell i was doing. he pulled down my shirt to kiss my neck and for the first time was insistent and would not stop.
cuddles now have a deeper and stronger quiet. i don't know what to do. i am so afraid of him, he is my world and he cannot be my lover.

p. i need it to think, i need it to sleep. it is nothing, yet can be all-consuimg. visual silence is a white void, so bright that it blinds you, yet so empty there is infinite room for thought and creativity. it binds all, yet is broken so easily... 010227

Casey I hate silence. I need to know that I am not alone. Even if it is just the music of Alkaline Trio, Counting Crows, or anything I like, then I'll be fine.
I can't even go to sleep in silence. I always need a soft tune playing in my ear.

But this pisses my parents off a lot because I play the sterio so lound. And i don't like headphones.

mandin6o star what does silence look like?
silence looks dark
silence looks unhappy
and feels like pain
silence is something that is hidden
protected for a reason
a reason that only silence can explain
silence is being afraid
silence is being insecure
silence is ignorance
silence looks like a black endless hole
a black endless hole
that only looks back at you
silence is your best friend and your
worst enemy
silence is a scary thing that's why
no one really knows what it looks like
no one wants to face the silence
silence is death

Dis God, the silences are tough. The whole long distance thing is tough in general, man. I guess that's some sort of commentary on my own sense of self-worth, the way I can't have a productive relationship with someone unless they're in my immediate vicinity and I can have constant reassurance that they aren't cheating or losing interest in me. That's not love, man, that's lockdown. 010627

Glennaieve the golden light that bathes his face, the slow stroke of his fingers down my back, the sigh that whispers over my lips, the aching desire of two mouths becoming one...the peace that comes from a simple touch, the love that beats within the souls of two slowly becoming one... 011009
