Poems About Silence Seeking Friendly Advice

The Sound of Silence
It is a lost echo
a wandering ghost
an empty room in a Victorian house
It is dust piled on unopened books
a writer’s empty page
a slow winter snowfall
It is incense burning
warm sunshine upon dozing cats
the steady growth of a plant
It is that pause between breaths
an unvisited gravestone
a still woodland pond
It is the artist’s inner concentration
the awe at gazing upon shooting stars
the stage in an empty theatre

My Castle in the Aire
14/30
My Castle in the Aire
When I am in the mood to ponder
I’ve discovered
in the absence of everyday din
at dusk
at dawn
no highway traffic
no owls hooting
or javelinas playful grunts
no orange cardinal
calling out to mate
or howling coyotes
no computers on
or streaming news
for me,
zazen comes easily
naturally
also, it is a boon
when I can’t remember
what I had for supper
the day before
56 unique words

Protège Moi
it creeps up inside
rips me to pieces
it suffocates me
estranges me
alienates me
all that once
was familiar
seems gone
it screams & it
rages i'm fading
all feels so vague
i'm lost can't see
through the fog
Les fantômes
i can't seem to
tame the desire
and devils, protect
me from what i want
rips me to pieces
it suffocates me
estranges me
alienates me
all that once
was familiar
seems gone
it screams & it
rages i'm fading
all feels so vague
i'm lost can't see
through the fog
Les fantômes
i can't seem to
tame the desire
and devils, protect
me from what i want

In a seance with a tombstone
resurrecting the lonely dead
tasting creation to be fed
from Eden's naked womb
in still waters as shadows lay
echoing torrents of pain
barren embryos and dogbane

Keeping Quiet
Keeping quiet
There’s so much that I want to say
The words stuck in my throat
My lips open I take a pause
I go to speak then choke
The deepest darkest secrets
Stay hidden in my mind
I want to tell you everything
But there’s never a right time
You stress at work, I worry you
You ask, I say I’m fine
The moment for me came and went
I keep it all inside
The words that want to come to me
They spill onto the page
With stories strung with memories
They never go away
I want to let you in...

As If I Belong
Shadows of insomnia's embrace
stealing my mind and my dreams
a sweet half of a memory kiss
echoes whispering from cold lips
flesh upon decadent flesh
with a cold cup of death
from the dirt and blood
feeling as if I belong in this place
stealing my mind and my dreams
a sweet half of a memory kiss
echoes whispering from cold lips
flesh upon decadent flesh
with a cold cup of death
from the dirt and blood
feeling as if I belong in this place

Night Terror
I want to go to sleep now
But my mind wants to play games
It’s really dark, the dogs they bark
No night ever the same
I feel things as they crawl on me
My scalp begins to itch
My clothes no longer comfortable
Up on the bed I sit
I look out into darkness
Hold the covers to my eyes
I feel a finger touch my back
Jump up, let out a cry
The lamp it comes to life
I look around to a bare room
The room is dim and heavy
Almost like a darkness looms
There’s no one here, he’s out of town

Please Whisper
Not everyone wakes up
this early in the morning
so please whisper for awhile
until it stops the snoring.
Please be quiet if you can
you’re all being way too loud
lower your noisy voices
don’t make another sound!
Just keep it down a little longer
don't clink the coffee pot
please close the door quietly
before you wake it up!
You’re starting to drive me crazy
oh dang, I hear it getting out of bed
now you’ve really done it
you should have listened to what I said.

Radio Silence
When the quiet night gets you down.
You always like to take a walk in town.
Where you see young lovers walk around.
Holding hands and singing to the clouds.
You return home alone and you are found.
Sitting on your own without a sound.
There’s nobody in here to take you out.
So you turn to what always makes you feel drowned.
In the radio silence, the static takes your hand.
It carries you to islands covered in golden sand.
Oh, oh, radio silence, who’s coming through?
Carries along and holds on to you.
Drift in the...

Serrated Echoes
From dark's intimacy breaking twilight
loneliness of a wilted broken flower
with uninvited voices on my pillow
listening to the serrated echoes
of the narcissistic cellos murmuring
with what remains of the carnal apple
as my soul bleeds out on torn pages
from dark's intimacy breaking twilight
loneliness of a wilted broken flower
with uninvited voices on my pillow
listening to the serrated echoes
of the narcissistic cellos murmuring
with what remains of the carnal apple
as my soul bleeds out on torn pages
from dark's intimacy breaking twilight

It's What It Is
Come to me with the falling of leaves
in it's what it is of beautiful serenity
nature's catharsis of pure breathes
as the silence of my thoughts retrieve
and hermits of the Elms find Jeeves
among the environs of coral reefs
in photo buckets cascading sheaves
in it's what it is of beautiful serenity

and hermits of the Elms find Jeeves

88%
88 percent of women,would agree that they do a lot of people pleasing. Much more than men.
Honestly,that behaviour is so crazy.
At a point,women still think that they are free.
Women,conform too their environment;
How they look.
How they smell.
How they should feel.
88 percent of women,are still grieving
about the hatred of them,by men,throughout history.
