Best Silent As The Grave Poems

Those who die unjustly
because of bigotry
because of prejudice
because of unadulterated hate
are never silent
their blood cries out
like the blood of innocent Abel
the anguished cries
"I can't Breathe"
"I'm going to die"
rise
rise
up past the blue skies
to the ear of the almighty Judge
who hears
who weeps
who waits
the Day of Judgement
when all...

The Haunted House

‘Room to Let’ the signage read, 
and though it looked run down,
I’d found no other place to stay
since I was new in town.

When I knocked upon the door,
a voice called out, “Please enter.”
“Hello,” I answered in reply.
“I’d like to be your renter.”

A lovely...

Your vow of silence one day you will break
You’ll come to know you’ve made a grave mistake
The love I gave you, why did you forsake?
There’s nothing left in me for you to take

For this is true and this you must confess
Not one gave more to...

Is it just me or I'm starting to slow down along with the unwinding of time? 
Time is running out and oh how I feel sublime
I'm in need of understanding God's Word and Law 
I feel trapped and I wear this frown all day through...

Sipping in solitude inaudibly,
I feel left behind like an orphan child, 
Waiting for a stranger’s ride, 
I was left on the front steps of someone else’s house and I’m left to be
An introverted child, brokenhearted, but slightly has a wild side
It’s as silent as the...

Hey,
Do you smell that?
That musky scent 
      with earthy undertones
leading off to the right.

Slipping into a lope,
as silent as the grave,
I sneak through the trees.
The aroma pulls me along
through the cascading moonlight.
I can feel the hunger growing,
snapping at my innards
like...

It happened in a second
In the twinkling of an eye
Our vessel was driven unto rock
By a strong southerly wind
And so we lost power in the sea
This led to the shipwreck
Though many on board could swim
But only a few could made it 
For many was drowned
When...

The moon is a light bulb….
When it’s enlightened with integrity 
It is like nightfall, bathing us with tranquility 
The buildings are stable with optimistic endurance
I trusted that your advice would take me far 
It sounded so wonderful like hearing good news from afar
You are thought-provoking...

I'm such a drama king
What kind of happiness can I bring
At the dinner table? Would they place a label on me?
I'm like a dysfunctional cable box...a beat-up TV 

Pre-chorus: I promise I'll be okay
I just need time to think things through 
I misunderstand what you...

Frozen Soul Within Her Heart-  
	  She's Terrified to Feel  

Her shadowed past still haunts her-
each night as every light-
fades back into the darkness,
as ghostly beings rise.
She gave her heart to someone,
and promised ne'er to change,
the feelings that belonged to him,
and ne'er...

Product of Dave the Brave

Product of Peace
Product of Poverty
Product of Happy
Product of Charity 
P-Product of crazy...weightless envy...bipolar blues...etc. etc.

Product of selfish ambition ...
A shameful sin in disguise 
Turning my cheek to this decision
Discussion goes beyond the sight of eyes 

That's what they consider me as...
That's...

I'm not strong 
Cuz I don't belong
I long 
To be on your tongue 
And on your mind, swinging along 
All alone, all along or maybe I'm the one in the wrong 
Oooooh oooooh ooooh
Mmmm mmmmm mmmm

You know nothing about what I've gone through these past...

the humming of a needle
drumming up and down
the pressure on the skin
humming the only sound

etched into the skin
the mark of only me
devastatingly unique
if the eyes will only see

eyes darting around
how to release the pain
embarrassed of my bravery
there is to be no shame 

my life dreams
summed...

With its silvery veil the moon's pallid sheen
Spectrally cloaks  and invests all the homes
Transformed into midnight mausoleums
While those who  sleep within can never  be seen

As cold as the tomb
As miserable as a morgue
As silent as the grave
As the sheathing of a sword.

Listening to you complain all day
Gives me migraines beyond belief
Good grief, could you just shut your mouth?
I wish we can go our separate ways – me, going north and you, going south

Ah, my pain empire…
Let me be independent
Let me go and admire…
The dominant neglect 
And...
