The Blue Voice of Silence

The bottle freedom cracks suddenly I don't want a quarrel Cos' I don't want a duel I don't want a quarrel Cos' I don't want to pinch his toes I don't want a quarrel Cos' I might crack shell our relationship I don't want a quarrel Cos' I might go soured our communication I don't want a quarrel Cos' I don't want to cause her a baked heart They don't want a fight They don't want to offend I don't want communication go loud Cos' I don't want a split rock relationship In this bottled freedom I don't want to kill this happy mood we are though I am dying inside In his frustration He keeps silence In her caked heart She keeps silence In his blue eyes He keeps silence In her red heart She keep silence but silence is a killer! And then depression drains her kind As obsession tame his mind oppression their freedom binds. Tin tiny thinner They become Going down into a pit of mind imprisonment Fear their jailer has sent melancholy to be their mate as hatred becomes their breath. silence is a murderer Choked up he becomes Cooked up she boils Baked brown boiled hard Steamed hot bursting into social Maladjustments Exploding radioactive Silence is an executioner Don't quarrel don't fight don't break relationship don't cut communication But please don't be drenched in a pool of silence. Silence is a pretence In the multitudes of silence Is greater war In the multitudes of silence Is greater battle In the multitudes of silence lays the inner poison stocked inside piled within. The heart bears the weight of it when heavy screams thunder then all is voiced Though it's a tool but Don't be drenched in it pool Like a deeper ocean It is ....when drenched Silence is a bottled freedom 1st place Win Contest :Reflection in silence Sponsor: Silent One ****** A Poet's note: "Silence an inside and gentle killer A problem shared is half solved A problem kept within is multiplied ×2" Most great people who passed on painfully Gave way to self silence antidote/medic Doctors are well visited, but counsellors Neglected ...this should be taken in 6/21/2020

If only we could decrypt the codes of silence! Silence, I think, has a loud effective voice for those who fathom its language! Silence, a mighty weapon we resort to after going through our battles.. after exchanging those means of communication but not really understood! Silence is that mighty world that keeps us safe and sane from agony and inner torture waging futile wars! Your thoughts are profound and make a lot of sense in a so expressive poetry! So much enjoyed the read, Gideon! Blessings
