Popular Poems About Silence

how they flee
through her pen
so smooth
silky threads
like glass
clear concise
full of meaning
experience

yet when it comes
to real life
words are rocks
in her mouth
hard rough
rolling on dry tongue
till she bleeds


she has yet to find
someone
she can be so open with


hard rocks
being so misunderstood
they roll under the thunder
of her heart
breaking
splintering
beneath
too busy
to listen

..with cello strings in nature's woods
in the silence of an unspoken tree
to the edge of forever, I see
drinking deep the inevitable  
the aroma of coffee and only me  
patience in living in nature free  
incorporating life into prayer and myths  
listening to windchimes yet unfed
cleaning my soul with cedar and sage  
of nature's embryos and tall pines  
in the silence of an unspoken tree...
 
 
 

If I just had a purpose then
Then I’d do something helping
Me
You
Them
Us
And everybody over the world
I swear
I could change the word
Speaking
If I just knew what for
I feel like a whore
Abused by living
What a feeling
Treated like the least liked children
If I cried out
You’d call me something worse than my feelings
Is it love or is it prison?
I swear I can’t say
This is why I do nothing and remain
Silent.
