Have you ever heard in your mind
the sounds that silence makes
the silence that spreads like music
as in splendor a dewy morning breaks
silence that clings to a Florentine fog
as lone couple a cobble street snakes
the silence that hangs heavy
after a heavy down pour finally ends
or await with it for the moment
when heaven its pearly reward sends
they sound so different and surreal
like life’s ethereal myriad bends
the silence that weighty dwells
in wisps, rises from vacant eyes
the silence that fills to the brim
dole, of a beggar’s ripping sighs
silence that hangs like a sword
on fears of unsaid distant byes
silence o endless tormenting silence
you play on a piano’s dusty keys
from a chair that rocks in howling wind
on a lifeless verandah, distant sees
from a score of such like mends
wherefrom one has drunk to ones lees
it speaks no man’s earthly breath
yet heard in shattering numbness
in ache and blight so steeped
in rustle of a long gone worn dress
in raucous merry gay proceeds
or the mirth of a child’s bless
in the time of a frisky bloomy day
or gnaw of a long starry night
the lullaby of distant streaking trains
or the gondola’s reflective sight
the cavort of journeys done together
Echoes the hush of a soundless blight
Absolutely impeccable. I adored (silence that clings to a Florentine fog) . Such a scrummy line. Tyvm karen
Have you ever heard in your mind the sounds that silence makes... Often silence is unbearable. Silence prevails when sound ends. Thank you for a beautiful poem.
Very thought provoking composition, each line is filled with deep philosophy. You have painted some very romantic scenes too, kudos! some lines happened to me when I read your poem... 'I have heard the silences that speak loud When we are alone in the noisy crowd The silence in the eyes and words unsaid The silence that rests deep down in the soul Stormier than the strongest storms that roll'....
Injecting fresh essence in your new work..maybe a new adopted flower fragrance cure the tiredness of last line? So great to welcome that..refreshing like splashing dew on face! _Soul
