When I‘m sad
or in despair
to you I become
a freaky scare
When I scream
or shout
or sob about
how the world
is so not fair
you wince,
you grit - (your teeth)
& pull your hair
But in the end
you still are there!

ANGST
SUFFOCATES MISERY
AS HER DESIRE DAMPENS
THE PILLOW SHE WOVE
HER DREAMS ON
AGONY SNIFFLES
CURLED UP AS A FOETUS
SHE CLINGS ON
TO THE LAST BIT
OF WARMTH THAT'S AROUND
IN HOWLING SILENCE
THE DOWNPOUR CONTINUES
EVEN OUTSIDE
AS THE WET GRAYS
SHOWER THEIR PITY
ONTO THE DARK WISPS
HOT TEARS
FLOWING AWAY
SHE SITS THERE
IN THE COMPANY OF HERSELF
SOAKING THE DAMPNESS UP
WASHING THE SINS
OF REMINISCENCE AWAY
SOAKING
TILL SHE'S ALL
COLD AND NUMB.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SILENT NOISE
Words are sweet
But they deceive
Your silences
Convey
Not what the mind says
But the heart craves
The words you offer
On your platter
Dipped in honey
Kissed with sugar
But it’s the pricking silence
That nibbles
The mind instead
Your silence
Screams in the head
My heart desires to interpret
The more I try
To listen
The more deafening
It sounds
It’s like silence
Sitting between us both
Like a third person
Translating to the other
What the first
Is trying to say
Somehow I'm lost
Your silence
Isn’t quiet
But loud and noisy
Disturbs the peace
Is intrusive
Than your words
Yet somehow
The need is felt
To word your silence
For me to know
What the heart hums
That the silence can’t sing
Your silence
Is so loud
It doesn’t speak
It's so deafening
Yet so silent.
