Jeffry Cohan Poet Quatrain

Suddenly I Heard Silence Shout

SUDDENLY I HEARD SILENCE SHOUT

All of a sudden I turned around
And it was then I heard the sound
All of a sudden I looked about
And ‘twas then i heard emptiness shout

With a swollen voice it screamed “no more”
For it was at that moment fate closed its door
All our plans laid out with precision and prayer
While you accepted its words with your casual flair

I was made speechless by what had thusly been spoken
And all I could feel beating was a heart set asunder and broken
I sat on a couch wondering how life could be so caustically cruel
Alas for hours upon that couch wept a fool

A foolish man who bought into lies and deception
And amidst silence came sorrow sans exception
What wondered I could I possibly have done
As I felt like jumping out of my skin and taking to run

Suddenly I turned around to see what I didn’t want to see
And that was the ghost of you and only tears for me
The universe is witness to an atrocity with no where to hide
And it also knows how stridently I tried long before I cried
