Notes About The Poem

Oxymororn Contest / Nette Onclaud

Silent Scream

I strive to vanquish transparent
colors staining your true essence.
Your mood is false skewed, running loose,
and our known love is fiction trapped.
My heart insists you must come back.
I wish to leave you, or stay you,
slaying themes you now live each day.
Love now holds my loud, silent scream.

I felt the conflict within the relationship, one I've felt (not now) Ofttimes, I silently screamed for I had no other option at the time. Powerful words. best wishes with the contest, hugs, Sara

I wrote it because I've felt it, too, Sara. Some words were screamed out loud, as well, and those I regret most. Thank you for commenting ... CayCay

"I I wish to leave you or stay you" The whole poem was a turbulence of your emotions but that line subtlety said more than enough. The first 4 lines too was like a rope gripping. Amazing poem.

Love your break down of the poem and truly appreciate it. I've lived the entire feel in this one, not romantically but other. Thank you and poetry hugs ... CayCay

It reads like a drama with heightened emotional angst. Combining such intricate verse with screaming conflict takes great talent. I applaud your verse.
