Muted Life
A pane of glass separates me from the world. Not literal, though sometimes I wish it were. Easier to explain. This is a different kind of barrier. A film over my senses. The vibrant shades of life muted, the clamor of voices distant, like listening to a symphony through thick walls. I know it's there. I can feel the vibrations, a faint tremor of feeling. But the melody, the full richness of experience, is lost to me.
I watch people—their easy laughter, their intertwined hands, the way they lean into conversations, fully present. I see it all, catalog it, analyze it. Words form in...

Rocks On The Pond
a smooth stone
a skip
a ripple wide
reflects the sky where thoughts reside
a quick touch a moments grace
disturbs the peace of time and space
one skip
two skips
one short flight
like dreams that fade in the light
each bounce
a choice
a path we take
a life unfolding
the ripples spread a gentle sway
affecting all along the way
a small act cast
a word we send
can touch a heart
the water stills
the ripples cease
a quiet calm
a moments peace
reflection clear...

Display of Silence
Walk the earth
A pittance paid
Bloodied coin ‘neath weeping sky
Praise
Praise upon lips
Hollow hymns in hollow halls
Songs sung
Yet the tongues do tremble
A tumultuous fire
A searing wail
The crack
The crack of lightning
A flash
A breath
Then silence
Silence
Of whispers long dead
Of prayers lost to time
Names blown
Blown
Like dust on the wind
A pittance paid
Bloodied coin ‘neath weeping sky
Praise
Praise upon lips
Hollow hymns in hollow halls
Songs sung
Yet the tongues do tremble
A tumultuous fire
A searing wail
The crack
The crack of lightning
A flash
A breath
Then silence
Silence
Of whispers long dead
Of prayers lost to time
Names blown
Blown
Like dust on the wind

Silent Bloom
i walked among the quiet stems
where sunlight touched earth's hidden gems
and found a bloom so still so shy
beneath the vast unchanging sky
it spoke no word's yet told me all
of how the winds through branches call
and how the morning's glow
is all the world should ever know
i asked it then why do you stay
in shadows soft and light's delay
but silence echoed in the air
a secret hidden everywhere
the world it moves relentless and fast
yet blooms like this are built to last
they hold the quiet of the past ...

Lusting Quietly for You
Suffering in silence
We'd do well together
It will never happen
I'll injure myself instead
That always takes the edge off
It lasts for a day
Then I start all over again
We'd do well together
It will never happen
I'll injure myself instead
That always takes the edge off
It lasts for a day
Then I start all over again

Groups Of One
The city bleeds in neon scars,
shattered glass and burnt out cars.
Graffiti screams on broken stone,
a warning carved, but left unknown.
They march with fire, fists held tight,
a cause, a chant, a staged street fight.
Justice blurred by shattered panes,
smoke and sirens, mud and stains.
Out past the alleys, past the screams,
the world splits wide in warring teams.
Borders drawn in blood and sand,
leaders lie with shaking hands.
But I don’t march, I don’t belong,
no banner in my sight, no battle song.
I...
shattered glass and burnt out cars.
Graffiti screams on broken stone,
a warning carved, but left unknown.
They march with fire, fists held tight,
a cause, a chant, a staged street fight.
Justice blurred by shattered panes,
smoke and sirens, mud and stains.
Out past the alleys, past the screams,
the world splits wide in warring teams.
Borders drawn in blood and sand,
leaders lie with shaking hands.
But I don’t march, I don’t belong,
no banner in my sight, no battle song.

Can you Hear the Silence
Can you hear the silence
I yearn for the silence to hear me
I run from the noise that assaults me
I breathe but my breath can’t hear me
I live for the silence that lives within the trees
We’re so used to the noise that silence scares us
I get anxious when the silence confronts me
I am afraid to not hear a sound around me
Make some noise to make him go away
Can you Hear the Silence
I yearn for the silence be near me
I run from the noise that’s around me
...
I yearn for the silence to hear me
I run from the noise that assaults me
I breathe but my breath can’t hear me
I live for the silence that lives within the trees
We’re so used to the noise that silence scares us
I get anxious when the silence confronts me
I am afraid to not hear a sound around me
Make some noise to make him go away
Can you Hear the Silence
I yearn for the silence be near me
I run from the noise that’s around me
...

Game of Silence
Quiet morning breakfasts,
I swallow my tongue and bite down on debris,
each breath heavy with unspoken words.
We mastered this game of silence,
always winning, never daring to lose.
It's getting dull with the everyday quiet meals.
I swallow my tongue and bite down on debris,
each breath heavy with unspoken words.
We mastered this game of silence,
always winning, never daring to lose.
It's getting dull with the everyday quiet meals.

"Ordinary life" Pt. 2
Hidden behind tragic literature
seeking solace in anything but this place...
this ordinary life she chose.
the white witch found herself longing once more
but this time it was for space - for a chance to breathe again
interruptions occur more often now, this is motherhood.
the task was not explained
loving her kin, though easy... came with a heavy price.
reveling in the sound of rain drops
tap
tap
tapping...
seeking solace in anything but this place...
this ordinary life she chose.
the white witch found herself longing once more
but this time it was for space - for a chance to breathe again
interruptions occur more often now, this is motherhood.
the task was not explained
loving her kin, though easy... came with a heavy price.
reveling in the sound of rain drops
tap

Listen to the silence
Living in the shadows, where there is no place to go
Living in the shadows, where there is no place to dream
Take a deep breath to fight against your fears
Live for the moment to understand your destiny
Listen to the silence to find the way
Do you remember when nothing was everything?
Lies,
Cause what sounded good to you determined your choice
Your knowledge is fading, and this battle is just the beginning
Living in the shadows, where there is no place to dream
Take a deep breath to fight against your fears
Live for the moment to understand your destiny
Listen to the silence to find the way
Do you remember when nothing was everything?
Lies,
Cause what sounded good to you determined your choice
Your knowledge is fading, and this battle is just the beginning
