Best Soundproof Poems

**For Ruben O, My little Bro**

(This poem was written and a recording made for the contest sponsored by Team Poetrysoup which was deleted before it was judged.  I wonder if this would have received a placement?)

Alarming, how analog clocks can tock back, 
sound-off each...

Here is my dreamiest, dream job.
I will get to drive a fire truck and use the sirens - all the way to work and back. The gasoline will be paid for by my company.
 
There will be no committees, and no paperwork.  No one...

After about three days
I realized that I felt better
And I was terrified

Because that just means
That I have successfully turned up the volume
In my headphones so loud 
That I drowned out every last thought I had

When I realize that it is a good day
I wonder how...

It was snowing, and in the middle of a great big storm… as… 
Another storm raged on, inside our dear, sweet little Dragon,
His penguins so care free, were now chasing after, you see…
The great Dragon Country Western Singer and Star, ‘Drago’!

Yep, they wanted autographs from...

Lace of dreams - long time gone -
Embraces waist of maiden
An off- white whisper's subtle tone
Drops shyly pearls from Heaven

Breeze flutters holographic Me
My wounded captain has returned
I feel like floating rainbow glee
His eyes are red and face is stern

He drops his gear and runs through...

Classes scattered throughout the week,
learning the right way to speak.
People swarm in hoards,
living in brick-walled wards.

Allegedly adults,
without the results.
More space to learn who to be,
strong hands guiding us how to see.

Plenty of peers,
all trying to find their own careers,
Each group has their flaws,
some bending the...

WELCOME TO MY WINDOW, STRANGER
IT SEEMS "LA VIE EN ROSE" FROM THE OUTSIDE
FRESHNESS OF THE BLOOM OF PLASTIC
WITH DOUBLE BARS INPRISONED IS MY HEART

A GATE TO FREEDOM OR A MIRAGE OF DESERT ?
DILUSSION OR ILLUSION ?..I BURN FROM INSIDE OUT
I SENSE MY MOUTH SCREAM ROARING...

Take my lips from me, steal my teeth
Rip my voice from my throat
Throw a wrench at my voice box, there's no point in the lock
Sorry for being abrupt, carrying this halfway through a morning tune
But this needed to be said, this needed to be addressed
So...

Audio hallucinations, voices not angelic, they're atrocious and scathing.
No one else hears whispering every now and then: Did you hear that?
Going mad a big fear; her visceral crazy dreams are becoming unclear. 
Entertains, never complains of painful futile pursuit. Panic stricken, blames other.  ...

3 January 2012
For a friend in need who felt no one could understand him...

I dreamt I was falling
Through black clouds and lightning
The wind tunnels swirling
I don’t know what to do.

Awake now, I look around
I’m lying helpless on the ground
No one around for me to be...

I wake up in a bath of sweat
 I am late starting my journey
 Weightless clothes hide my being
 Protect the skin from reality, my reality 
 The garage door shuts up in a rearview mirror
 There is nothing else but emptiness
 The rose bushes...

I’m just a working stiff
droning along in life
Everyday
me be doing 
what the boss queen bee say
Following orders,
never once do I ask why

I’m just a wooden bottom-rung peg
soldiering along dutifully
The folded antennas in my head
informs me 
not to speak on things I see
Pass the time away...
