Midnight Aurora Poet Rhyme

Silent Is the Spring

Silent is the Spring

Silent is the birdsong
In the early morning Spring
Lonely are the daffodils
And the sunshine that you bring
Abandoned is the heart
That you nurtured through the Fall
Winter now encased
Forever frozen in a wall.

Joyless are the nights
No requests to dream sweet
Searing are the memories
Silhouettes upon the sheet
Arid is the sunken soil
No more roses left to bloom
Withered petals blowing 
In the wind of silent doom.

What was once a pleasant landscape 
Decays in emotional drought
Time an ongoing enemy
Leaving nothing but increased doubt
Salted streams try wash away
The torture now so violent
Never has one lived through such
A Spring so painfully silent.

Silent One November 3, 2019 at 3:22 PM There is a lot of beauty in silence... But also pain...it is a double edged sword... Midnight Aurora November 3, 2019 at 5:29 PM Sometimes...and sometimes it's just cruel. Thanks for your comment.

Freddie Robinson Jr. October 31, 2019 at 9:11 AM So beautifully sad, yet elegantly expressed, Midnight Aurora. GrEaT lines throughout ... Arid is the sunken soil. No more roses left to bloom. Withered petals blowing In the wind of silent doom. So much emotional imagery. Pure poetry. Love and joy always. Midnight Aurora November 3, 2019 at 5:27 PM Thanks Freddie.

James Inman October 27, 2019 at 10:38 AM Abandoned and forsaken in spring, the time of renewal, it often makes the sadness more papable. The last stanza seemingly alluding to physical abuse, sad. Your write has given voice to the silence. Midnight Aurora October 27, 2019 at 4:26 PM Thanks very much James.

Elaine Perrin October 22, 2019 at 12:44 PM Another beautiful powerful piece:-) x Midnight Aurora October 24, 2019 at 4:45 PM Thank you.

Richard Lamoureux October 20, 2019 at 1:32 PM The rhythm has a light airy feel but the content is steeped in darkness. I like the odd way it seems to work. Midnight Aurora October 20, 2019 at 5:58 PM Life is full of contradictions :)
