Silence poems, moving poetry about serenity and the absence of sound. Poignant, tranquil, and powerful poems about silence.
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

eventide hymn
"Broken loaves, abundant giving;
broken lives, abundant living." - CAB
“In the morning there is meaning, in the
evening there is feeling.”
—Gertrude Stein
i will be your peace
in the midst of all your pieces,
for i hear your pleas,
as your helplessness increases.

Unspoken
a friend, you call me
yet, i, like an unseen shadow, linger
words trapped inside
leaving silent watches
the "why" echoes unanswered
a whispered voice
you failed, your worries left untold
so i stay here
trapped in my own guilt
a yearning shadow
yet, i, like an unseen shadow, linger
words trapped inside
leaving silent watches
the "why" echoes unanswered
a whispered voice
you failed, your worries left untold
so i stay here
trapped in my own guilt
a yearning shadow

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
Bring...

Paradise
I find tranquility upon the stones
Quiet memories through the departed
History comes alive in a graveyard
Birds find sanctuary among the tombs
Faded epitaphs from centuries back
Wild vines wrapped around crypts long ago
People need to respect one another
Loneliness on earth will follow you down.

Sorrow
As the sunlight dies
In cold empty darkness
Stillness of the grave
What the ruins remember
Through time and memory
Chambers death through the winds
Where the flame is eternal
Awakening

Questionable existence
Can you feel what I'm saying?
Can you see what I'm touching?
Can you taste what I'm hearing?
Well I can't.
Maybe because I'm here.
Or is it because I'm not here.
I really don't know.
Visions of nothingness drift through my subconscious.
My dream world could be your reality.

The Curator
I curate death for the living
in a mausoleum of hope
I am a nurse - clandestine
I am despondency with a smile
I've broken more ribs than I've fixed
like twigs snapping in your hands,
my palms crunch bones
like snow beneath your feet
the dead and I wear the same expression
under a white shroud
our emotions lie buried
beneath the surface
hidden behind layers of minerals
and foundation
I embalm my mind for self preservation
vignettes plaster the rooms
clinging to the walls
proxy living through the past ...

Unspoken Harmony
When silence falls, in moments serene,
I smile, your face in my mind's eye seen.
Though space divides us, our hearts are in sync,
You're in my thoughts, from dawn till day's brink.
Love's rosy hue, paints the calm air,
Our bond a fortress of faith, we need not care.
You're always with me, never out of reach,
Forever valued, in my soul you're etched.
Loneliness may call, but quickly flees,
Love's constant flame, burns like a breeze.
We share our joys, we boost each other's dreams,
Our connection grows, no matter the extremes. ...

Best Absorbed Written
For a long time I believed poetry was lyrics for those who could not sing
And I was consumed by what I could not compose
My brave soul possessed uncourageous lips
And I despised the small quiet characters that seemed to sum up my existence
But art is not meant to be taken but gifted
And although I perceive my poems as weak
I hope you find power within them
For my words in this lifetime
are best absorbed written
And I was consumed by what I could not compose

But art is not meant to be taken but gifted
And although I perceive my poems as weak
I hope you find power within them
For my words in this lifetime
are best absorbed written

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.
