Like a Silent Graveyard

Like a silent graveyard 

Past that boulevard 
Lies a silent graveyard,
Where this skin retard
And miseries  within ungird. 

I am now silent as that graveyard,
Pieces of mine,here,I safeguard 
In this silence so subtle and hard,
Pain and sufferings have got unbarred.

Multiple emotions I learned ,
Some are still  unheard,
In this silence all  evaded
Like a caged bird set freed. 

I’m  here like a bygone body ,
In this graveyard ,so holy,
Abducted by the earned felicity
Not even this flesh remained lastly.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
