Silence - Of Life And Death Poem by Joseph S. Josephides

- You have heard all and everything, apart from the Silence.

- On the wet glass the child forms words: ‘do you hear me? ’

- The butterfly flies at low levels, silently, the way of a caress.

- Love during a silence, a profound conversation on affection.

- I kiss your left ear; has the shortest distance to your heart.

- They were laughing with big voice, so their distance became small.

- One plus one equal to three, the silent kiss being the third unit.

- She embroidered the word 'patience' with thin fibers of silence.

- Words, actions, habits, attitudes: all on the chariot of silence.

- I hear the star and I keep silent, thus imitating the way of a sage.

- Guernica: Picasso, the customs officer, writes a drama in silence:

- Nine months of fetal peace, came out of matrix, died in heavy noise.

- They sing anthems of victory, they drop bombs, the lamp fades.

- But the mother, only the mother, listens to a moan inside her.

- Lazarus returned and saw the place that was more hell than Hades.

- The feminine figure floats on air, holds a torch of a vivid speech.

- A flower germinated next to the broken sword of the dead patriot.

- A tear is a coral, a thousand of tears create a coral island.

- To have a say and water in heaven they shut the evil’s mouth.

- Silence: My sound to take vengeance over evil in a delicate way.
