Art of Silence

there is an art to  
                        s i l e n c e,
a beauty in its presence,
when a natural choice

from the fragility of 
                            b u t t e r f l i e s,
to the majesty of sun kissed petals

an affinity with sparkling stars,
a kinship with the 
                         mysterious moon

sometimes 
               solitude 
is a sanctuary of serenity,
a delicacy of desires and dreams,

elegantly expressed through words

yet there is tragedy in it's creativity,
when free will is 
                                  s t i r r e d 
                                       in a 
                              cauldron of hurt


in the 
        manifestation of misery
a mute tongue is a slave to 
                                      s i l e n c e,

coerced through a nightmare of  
                                             NOISE

in the crisis of sound,
satan serenades with your sanity
in his playground of instability

Deafening s i l e n c e 
                              is an illness,

a curse without a remedy
in the stillness of suffering
we can hear a heart breaking
crackling, 
            bleeding - 
                          s u f f o c a t i n g

in death's doorway of destinies,
time is a speechless nemesis,
a reminder that fate has no 
                                       v o i c e

but in a 
           microcosm of metaphors
there is a province of poetic perception -
when we are s i l e n t 
                               we still have our 
                                       words.
