SILENCE

It runs
like sand through fingers
deaf to all the mouths that speak
noise no more do i seek

rusty lighthouse men you had it right
far out at sea
just the birds and the rocks
no one to argue with
just ticking of clocks

Victoriana twinkling the piano
musty photographs from the empire
line the walls
quietness in your heart enthralls
for all is rained on outside
and all days glide

when as a boy i seeked solace and comfort from the gloomy world
you were there
beside me my friend
my only ally against the bitch
that makes all others
seem colourful and rich

i hate all mouths that make a noise
that fill the world with faithless joys
silence is golden thats what i say
so pass me by and on your way
never utter another word
it may to you seem absurd
i like DUMB
