Best Muffled Poems

and suddenly no trace of you to be found
can it be that you have vanished
erased etchings in the sand
   the tide of time ruthless
   leaving my heart of stone beached
   like a distraught whale
  weary and life depleted
while...

I was in the company of my
 siblings
Enjoying the comforts of my
 sisters,
When they came at me
Armed with axes and machetes
 determined to grind their oxen

They struck blows upon blows, cuts upon
 cuts.
My limbs first, then my trunk came tumbling
 down.
I shouted and cried all...

Everyone gets to choose,
The magic word is “choice”.
Only the defenseless lose, 
Wombs muffle their voice....

Impregnable fortress, my mother's womb,
Beyond all evil reach, no one can intrude,
Bundled with joy, I rocked and rolled !

Little to my conscious , did I know of the plot,
To kill me inside, even before my birth,
Just because they knew that I was a girl !

Small...

within the shadows of dusk
the sky bleeds itself dry
like the blood of my muse
in inkless stages of darkness

whispers fall through summer's trees
in breathless little sighs
muffled beneath the hover
of hummingbird's wings
as they suckle nectar nearby

i am lost somewhere
in their distant chatter
and thunderous roars
rumbling the hillside
as clouds...

muffled cries wake me
town dwellers slip on the snow- -
my pillow stays warm

muffled, wake, dwellers, slip, pillow...

Unhappy, unappreciated, underestimated.
Born to be weak.
Breed to be inferior.
Cursed to be abused.
Governed by emotions.
Enslaved to the kitchen.

"This is your life,"
she was told.
The injustice hid behind
 that grotesque phantom-
CULTURE.
Centuries of rotten tradition
smothered her development.

The woman with no voice.
She screams within.
The sound jailed 
behind the bars of...

"It was 2 or 3 years ago
As best as I can recall
A slight chill in the air
Maybe early spring,
or maybe late in the fall

Queens County Hospital released me
on that very  fateful day
I had spent my time in their psych ward
I no longer had to...

Two closed doors
and the distance
the width of a wall.

Two voices, one yours
the trebles are normal
as they rise and fall.

In this moment
you aren't going crazy.
In this moment 
what you say makes perfect sense.

I can pretend
you're saying anything
but what you're saying
when I hear muffled voices.

I think of:

“Can you feel the soul of an abandoned house,
 can you hear the whispering? "

A muffled sound
    that I knew not
  as it echoed
    across my lot

  It spoke in code
    to primal fear
  seemed to cry
    Get out of here

  O, how...

the all-consuming dread
beneath a veneer
of equanimity, 
impenetrable
by eyes of keen observers.
by all appearances,
all is copacetic,
but under his smiling mask, 
unmitigated disarray.
a cauldron of caged anguish
simmer
without boiling over.
his screams of helplessness,
muffled;
registering below
a whisper.
he's at his wit's end;
a beast of burden
with his world of troubles

Here I m standing at the bay
Feeling the slipping sand beneath my toes
Only colour dat my eyes can c is blue
Everything seemed so surreal around
As if I cannot get anymore quite
But wat r those noises dat fill my ear
What r these screams bringing me fear
Though...

In the quiet stillness of vast empty spaces in time _hums the rhythm of my body.

As my inner hearing rings vibrations of the beating heart in steady motion.

Fading laughter and muffled sounds of distant voices slurs to unrecognizably mumbled words laid to waste. Decreased the...
