Unspoken Words

without words flickering light scraping cranial cavity gathering embers blowing, on the coal, like a whisper… in the dark... strutting prowess phooo…phooo… as children play dark as day …a tail …a mane an arrow wound medicinal plants burnished hew studying copiously god’s intended wall poems with ambient light hunting haunts the mind shadows climb fingers flicker satisfied of hunger having engraved what his mind craved mother nods children smile men give their ...ahems and …ahas all tucked into bed sunlight stings their eyes shadows kiss their heads the cave remembers speaking unspoken words kim rodrigues © 2017

Hello Kim, This is for sure a wondrous metaphor and build out of your poem here starting with the first verse "without words." I always enjoy these types of writes since they call upon the reader to think a bit in an abstract sense, about the flow of the imagery and the essence of your intended message. Keep up the great writing!! I see that you've actually posted a lot of poems which I think is wonderful!! Excellent Work!! Cheers and Best, Gary

This entry is a different slant and intake on the unspoken word. Well done

Kim, you have really outdone yourself with this one. What an abstract but cool vision appears from your piece today. This was wild and definitely creates many thoughts in the mind.
