The Loudest Silence

Love is the loudest silence of the soul

Like a turbulent typhoon from within

Murders life’s constancy and every lull

Moving faster than the worn path of sin

Love is the fountain of ambivalence

The common torturer of all mankind

Searing those searching for constant balance

On each lonely battle field of the mind

Love is the unyielding capture of all

Like every prey within the lion’s jaws

Paralyzes all in that silent brawl

Of will and desire without any cause

Like Death’s fingers it unnoticed conquers

Those unwilling souls it always bothers

<p>The first line is so powerful! -"Love is the loudest silence of the soul." You should add that line on the powerpoetry spit stream, where poets write one or two lines. It's pretty neat. You describe love in a mysterious way. It's very interesting.</p>
