Notes About The Poem

Silence Felled

Silence Felled

Lurking in dark corners
The swamp stirs in the night
As the deceiver rises
Begging to share his illusions might

Only behind the veil
Does he let his murky words sail
Deceiving the lady of the house
While he runs like a little mouse

He drinks a mans ale
Then double crosses once stale
Armies can’t fight the silent one
He hides in the corners of your mind

Draw blood with your pen
Let him flow towards the hither end
The skeleton can’t do much with his quill
Stabbed of his devious will

Darren White July 8, 2017 at 2:20 AM That title is captivating. Yes, silence fells, felled. It can be extremely painful. Your last stanza is a gem.

Charlie Smith July 7, 2017 at 9:31 PM A bit of Game of Thrones Arthur, well done..
