Spoken in Silence
3 March 2016
Words spoken
Like leaves in the rain
Fluttering
Wandering
From the mind to tip of tongue
They hold ecstasy
The shining
Rolling fantasy
As they heave
Like oceans
Breaking on the shore of mouth
Where they singe, the pain!
Keep talking
It is but in mind
Impressions
Of peeling
The skin breaks in revealing
Secrets of bosom
The decay
It counts slow pieces
Parts of lips
Fallen red
On the ground a pool of dread
Quirks of existence
Resistance
Slow path through the light
Shimmering
Inside me
A gate to safe where I flee
Unwarranted flight
I chose left
Where path took turn right
Mistakes made
Experience
Of the good and the ugly
Oh love how they smite!
I won’t tell
Of crestfallen hearts
That winced
At light words
Thrown like stones at falling birds
Spoken in Silence
Reading of the poem:
Ever fallen in Love – Nouvelle Vague
Dance with me – Nouvelle Vague
In a Manner of Speaking – Nouvelle Vague
