partys over-silence lingers

walking into empty rooms
with only silence there
the party is now over
people leaving happy
you stay to clean the mess
silence she just watches
and gently would caress

noise has left a while
strange the feeling now
the fervour of the voices
replaced by quietness
the glasses, plates, bottles
the remnant of the guests
silence she just watches
and gently would caress

in silence
contemplation
now the partys over
and a mix of feelings
come knocking
at your door
those familiar
after thoughts
in silence
of clean up.

i've cleaned up after plenty parties...sigh i miss my parties - especially the ones with the mad people where we saw the dawn ate all the contents of the fridge and slept on the nearest flat surface roll eyes (head still spinning!)

Hi, serpico12,
a mix of feelings come knocking at your door...Sometimes these can be unwanted guests or, at other times, treasured gifts one gently would caress. I like the ambiguity in your poem.

serpico, you had a party and didn't invite US? heh! mixed feelings, for sure, in that silence. though i have experienced after-parties to those parties that sound like ladybee's...hmmmm, we always ended up on the front lawn, though. lol! another great one, for sure! (i mean the poem, not the parties!)
