Best Day Of Silence Poems

Day of Silence

A shredded temple curtain lies
Upon a shattered floor;
Silent Sabbath,
Daylight weeps before a stone,
Birds withhold their songs,
Dawn - undecided -
Rain - holding its breath -
Sunlight pacing -
Flowers fragrance -
Wandering in the shadows -
Jeers and taunts
Run from their echoes -
Earth's quaking - stilled 
Broken palms...

I know it will be quiet when you come:
No wind; the water breathing steadily;
A light like ghost of silver on the sea;
And the surf dreamily fingering his drum.
Twilight will drift in large and leave me numb
With nearness to the last tranquility;
And then the slow and...

I should’ve prepared
For this vow of silence
But I had no idea
Today was for alliance

You’re bullied and torn
And words are buried
By the close minded ones
Who make themselves adversaries

Why tear down others
Because of their love
Some dude doesn’t like them
Who isn’t here but up above

A coward’s excuse
Is to...

Shh...
Hush...
Don't speak those words,
We don't want to hear them.

Remember us...
Do not forget...
Though we are gone,
Our memory remains.

Don't joke...
Don't laugh...
It's not funny,
The pain we deal with.

You ridicule...
You mock...
Who are you to judge us,
Have you forgotten we're human too?

This Day is for us,
When our pain and loss
Speak...

When you ask me to speak up in class,
You may not realize that I have my reasons for staying silent.
When you tell me not to be a “crybaby”,
You may not realize that I have my reasons for crying.
When you tell me that my dreams are...

As I claim my own parcel of solitude
from yesterday's banging boom,
I see heaven expanding through you
in me: fireflies  glow  rare as Sunday’s bliss,
never mind if there is a call for patience
when holy hours rise upon the lines of your mouth;
resting on the ledge...

Hectic day, the device beeped incessantly:
Salient, superficial, attended all, not to skip, 
the vital  from the plethora of logs. 

Voices buzzed  interminably : known, alien, 
the bulk superficial and unknown;
Irritated, lulled the apparatus to silence; 
urged own moments from the bustles! 

That mercy...

There are days when...
     Solace is in solitude
     Reminisce in stillness
     Renews an attitude

There are days when...
     Silent scream at silhouette
     Thoughts left unsaid 
...

She found solace
in silence
as the commotion of life 
abandoned her ....

a question to all the women! 

why do you think you're weak? 
why do you let the society believe your timid and meek? 
why don't your display your rage? 
why do you let yourself be captivated in a cage? 
till when will you call for...

the rooster slept late
  no hen laid an egg
on vacant street corners
  no transient did beg

the sun beat down early
  not a whisper of breeze
the stench of blue trucks 
  smoke, filth and sleaze

shops shuttered tight
  bars and chains all...

One night, one tale, I'll write so true,
With every word, I'll pen down you.
A moon so bright, a gentle breeze,
Your hand in mine, a moment to freeze.

In real life, we may never meet,
But in my book, our hearts will greet.
In my story, all’s my way,
I'll...

The day I dread most
Silences fun five whole days~
Wake too soon, return too late;
Hours drag on like stones.
Alarm bells bury silence
Till weekends return with sparks.

nobody here walking
i talk to myself to heal
i sing an old late 60s song in the temperamental, indecisive sunshine
raindrops then begin to actually fall on my head
however that is okay
i am off work today and the rest of the week
all my errands have been run
it...
