Dion is Quiet

Their marriage had left a demineralized matrix or was it the other way around

Possibly feminine revenge for her own mid-life crisis gone hard in denial

Where once had been gems precious crystals and finely grained rock seams

A desolate womb of silence scooped the last remainders of once happy times


Dion challenged the burden and rolled the ragged stone up a steep void in vain

‘Could have should have would have’ followed the sysyphean slope of gravity

Claimed diogenean wisdom and honestly told Alexandra to get out of his orbit

Soaked up his sun and blocked the faded memories of her once shining beauty


He mentioned undying love but received an evil eye as reward for the promise

Pointed a lantern of reason and feeling towards the overgrown path of love but

Was rewarded by a risorius grimace in-scripted onto a stone wall of vile wrath

Gave her the benefit of doubt and displaced his self-preservation with surrender


The years have passed and after a protracted spell of understanding her venom

Rationalizing analysing interpreting and making lame excuses for her behaviour

Long after he found new hope and happiness that surpasses his wildest dreams 

Dion wonders whether silence is only a golden reminder of who’s hurting whom 


Surely politeness shows certain respect and sentient beings deserve all regard

Karma wishes for consideration chakras need to develop and a still lotus flower

Is worth more than a thousand torn roses as a fig of new growth is quietly sweet  

And yet raw truth demands her to hear what a calculating creep she had become
