Silent One Poet Free verse

Poetic Inhalation

There is an art to expressing emotional existence.
Like a gentle breeze whispering to spring petals,
but sometimes our tongues are too tired to speak.

In the tender spaces where silence roams,
to heal, I release thoughts to swim with
metaphorical ripples, floating slowly through waves,
kissing sandy shores or merging with the sea.

Words forgive and soothe when weaved freely,
like a reminder of cleansing sentimental lyrics,
which reset the mind to allow the heart to calm.

Victor Buhagiar February 2, 2024 at 2:47 AM There is an art to expressing emotional existence. Which is why I consider myself a wordsmith, not a poet.

Jerry Brotherton February 1, 2024 at 7:00 PM A brilliant concept and poem my friend. Breath in the poetic emotions. Have a wonderful day my friend.

Andrea Dietrich February 1, 2024 at 2:37 PM I really love this so poetically succinct

Ink Empress February 1, 2024 at 12:23 PM Ah you did this so well i can almost hear you reading this as this is so very you how you write for especially spoken word poetry. But in the most poetically evocative manner. I love and felt the depth of your lines and i believe most of your readers would. I especially love the lines “ Words forgive and soothe when weaved freely, like a reminder of cleansing sentimental lyrics,“ how true and profound! Hits home! “ silence roams, to heal, I release thoughts” impeccable’ BOL for the contest

Sara Kendrick February 1, 2024 at 11:57 AM I like this one. Sometimes we can let go of our pent-up emotions and let it rip in a poem. I will have to remember this one when I am feeling out of sorts. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara K
