Like A Rubber Ball Poem by Romeo Della Valle

Like A Rubber Ball

Rating: 5.0


I am always rewinding things
To hear the sounds of what
It is missed between spaces:
Like words that were not spoken,
Wonderful things never said
But were going through my mind!

Like a hard rubber ball
Bouncing back and forth
Between crashed walls
Filled with hollow spaces
When echoes reverberate
With an incessant sound of
Inarticulate and unknown voices!

Incomprehensible madness
Of hollow sounds that crash
Against walls and that drives me
Totally insane when I really try
So hard to coexist in a world
That is outside and beyond me
And that seems to have no end
Until my last day on earth
Acting like a rubber ball!

Nice write. I like this poem. It reminds me of Emerson's admonishment for a man to speak his mind or risk hearing his own ideas expressed by someone else.

'Incomprehensible Maddening hollow sounds Crash against walls of hollow sounds... Which drive me to madness Trying to coexist In a world outside me...' Like it! Nice write

there is sometimes a feeling of void and emptyness between space andtime, where there is only inaction.i loved this poem because it goes from matter to subtle things, which is a undescribable feeling.great poem. ritty
