Heart Had Heard Poem by kelvin karani

(14/01/2010)

It came
After a screaming silence.
My ears, still dumbfounded,
Were gallivanting in trance.

The silence
Was like that of a man
Who gives up the fight
And waits to be taken away
To the land of spirits.

Ears twitched
And wondered why.
Were they harbingers
Of bad news?
They wished to know.

But heart
Had already heard.
It turned in pain
And drowned in the turbulence.

My mind
Quietly walked away.
Reality was too painful,
‘twas better left for another day.
