Best Speechless Poems
- breath blushes blue between us ...
you ask the question
THAT question
so, you're requesting rationality, lucidity
when you stand before me dressed in pure starlight
ONLY starlight, with moon drops in your eyes
splashing your coy smile like rare south sea pearls
damp from our cool evening swim, you shiver
dancing drops of dazzling diamond dew
shimmer like dermal constellations
turning your sublime surfaces into an ocean of sprites -
haute couture by the Cosmos
precious few and precious, times like these
when those definitions of love made in youth -
those confusing impulses of the emotional and physical
swirl and spin and wrap me like fleece
passion, desire, beauty … and love
spun together like soft cotton candy -
sweet and sticky and warm on the lips
melting together with THAT question, THAT concern
but what IS true? what defines "reality"?
what will last beyond this intense need to have you
to know you, taste you, every tender centimeter
every curvaceous, sublime, secret spot?
you stand there, perfectly imperfect, pert and saucy
form covered in tiny bumps of enticing invitation
your body’s braille, pleading
steam rising into the cool evening air
like a sigh from your skin
waiting for my answer - my affirmation
but I am mute ...
entranced ...
numb …
- I will let my body … speak.

the look of silence
after your walls have fallen —
in full surrender
You never say hello
Your just a speechless wonder
You called me your wild rose
But I'm just the thorn in your side
An empty silent love
Finally falling through the ordinary day
now we never talk anymore
And we're slowly fading away
You never said goodbye
Beloved speechless wonder
Just a shadow of you walking
And getting smaller under street lights
Old memories echo through me
Finally whispering in ordinary ways
But we never talk anymore
And you've slowly faded away
I usually have words,
Words to say.
I usually can get things out when I pray.
I usually can make a joke and light up a room
But all I can say right now is that you left this world to soon.
You lit up my life in ways only God can understand
You were an angel, not mere human.
You always helped others when no one else cared
You always made yourself available when no one else was there.
When you sang and played guitar with me,
You looked so happy and free.
When I was scared and needed an ear,
You went out of your way to truly hear.
Many listen but most don’t hear
That was a gift, my dear.
I am thankful and honored you shared things with me
I got to hear what kept you in captivity.
Losing you is like losing a piece of my heart
I don’t even know where to start.
I wish I could have taken all your pain away
I am thankful that you let me lead when life was gray.
I miss you so much and it’s an ache in my soul
I just need you to know, I loved you so
Thank you for all you did for me
All the nights you listened to me go on endlessly
Thank you for the kindness you bestowed on me
You helped me see a lot of things that I had to learn to let be
I wish I could go back in time
I keep playing every conversation in my mind
I wish I could have done more
But for now I have to close that door
Rest in peace my precious friend
I believe in my heart we will meet again
Things will not be the same
And I am sure many want to take the blame
But you touched more people than you know
And I pray God told you that at heaven’s door
You were one of my best friends
And I will cherish you until the end
You were one of my best friends
And I will cherish you until the end.

To my dearest friend I will miss you so much
I have nothing tangible to do,
that`s why I`m writing this,
which makes me jobless.
Even though I like to speak on
behalf of many indigents and unknowns,
making me the voice of the voiceless.
I believe in struggle for survival,
working day and night to better the lots of others,
making me selfless and restless.
I don`t care whether my ways or
words are painful or not,
which make me heartless.
In the face of adversity,
I cannot remain motionless,
this makes me fearless.
A wingless insect that I am,
feeding on the stems and roots of flowers,
I am ruthless.
I don`t like ice-creams that are creamless or
soup that is spiceless;
the two to me are tasteless,
Am I making any sense?
Don`t tell me that I`m senseless.
Sometimes my pen writes on its own without me,
pouring out its venom on paper,
Oh!the ink is fading...fading out slowly,
Gush! my pen is inkless,making me speechless.
Our love for each other is ceaseless;
as I sit on this armless chair on a sleepless
night gazing at the blue flowerless vase;
I become thoughtless.
Nonetheless,I`m still faithless,for I have no
single faith in our political system or leaders.
The bond between I and my pen is endless.
We are both sinless, as we escape the
bottomless pit and timeless ignorance.
one breath of air, gives you a start to speak your mind;
but a hesitant feeling has made you absurd of the thought to hear your voice.
this is stupid you think as your hands begin to quake on the half blocking wood stand,
how is this not simple to say a few lines that are being displayed right in front of you.
there are too many faces searching yours and their eyes are beginning to blend;
a giant mass of a paused question looking at you for your known unspoken answer.
o trembling you are now, for you did not know you had such a fear of this;
there you stand mouth-less in front of everyone, that knows you should be speaking.
Mom, Dad,
How can i describe you?
A friend of mine describes his parents as
Clueless
and lost
Another said they are
just mean
and brat
One who never wanted to hurt hers
told me hers are
Distant and lonely
I met one who spoke in my ears
That his mom is silly
And his dad a drunkard
Others call them
evil, sinister, diabolical,
and grumpy
Though most choose to say it softly
kind, giving, hardworking but unapproachable
But how can I describe you,
Mom and dad?
Saying you are loving and caring
Its an understatement
How can i describe you?
You teach me right from wrong,
You encourage and support me ,
You laugh with me and wipe my tears away,
when i cry
Yes you are honest,
You are wise,
You are respectful,
You are intelligent,
You are a blessing,
So warm, tolerant but patient,
But that doesn't satisfy it all
You're the reason why I'm so strong,
Because you inspire
You are the reason why am smart
Because you nurture
You are the reason why i believe
Because you faith-filled
When I need you, you're always there
I hate defeat because you taught me victory
Though today
I have a confession to make
When it comes to describe who you are to me
I am just speechless
Dedicated to my dad and mom James and Cinda Carter
Like with every relationship, they have had their highs and lows
But no one can rule out that its the best couple i know so far
They love God, they love each other and them love me

Speechless
Speechless
Voice Extinguished
Inaudible Words Muted
Dumbfounded Restrained Vocal Cords
Silence
Chaos and riots
Epidemics and wars
Confusion like tornado hurricane
Confinement, speechless, quiet, calm, rest and unspoken words
However people are drowned in the sounds of nature
Rattle of the rain
Whizzing of the wind
Rustling of the leaves
Wheedling of the birds
Chirping of the crickets
Echoing in the caves, jungles and mountains
Roaring of the sea
Murmuring of the stream
Buzzing of the bees
Hissing of the snake
Quacking of the ducks
Mooing of the cows
Woofing of the dogs
Groaning of the sick
Wheezing of the lungs
Humming of a lullaby
Grumbling of the oldies
Mourning of the dead
Sighing of the loser
Applause of the winner
Any other voices may be drowned
During this political, economic and epidemic crisis
Stay speechless ,calm and cool
As the ushering in of the Chinese New Year
Looking forward to a better year
Only melodies but no blasting or booming
Maybe some sounds buried in the wind
That's the voice of your heart
Stop violation, politicking, trafficking and hegemony
As the world
Is a part of everybody's legacy in a will
Although all along the world is speechless and unspoken
Hi. Hello. How are you? I know you don't like me but listen to me. Please listen.
Look into my eyes and tell me what you see. You know I like you so why are
you holding back? Us. Together. I'm pretty sure if I were to hold you in my
arms and let our problems drift into the abyss all that would be left between us
is infinite happiness. Romeo and Juliet would respect what we have because
they know that the way I look at you it would make their relationship seem like
puppy dog love. Can you not tell what I feel for you? Look into my eyes and tell
me what you see.
Speechless Couple. Let's start again. Hi. Hello. I miss you. Why do you ignore
me? I've tried calling you and I know that you have your phone in your hands
'cause I can see your updates yet you choose to let the phone ring. Lady if you
don't want me just say so. I know actions speak louder than words but you
have a fire burning in you and you don't want to show it. Well I have a dark
void inside me that's needs the light that you have. Look let's not get carried
away but I need to see you one more time. This time without the people telling
us how to date, without the people telling you about me or me about you. If
you know I love you then let's not get carried away. Don't try out 2 and 2
together because trust me with outsiders you will get 6. I know you still have
feelings for me. You don't show off what you have. Is it only for my eyes to
see? If you were to look into my eyes could you tell me what you see?
Speechless Couple. I'll stop trying now. If you believe that we've reached our
limit even though the sky is and we haven't reached that yet its fine. Lady just
know that I am The Man Who Can't Be Moved. I'll be waiting exactly where our
eyes met for the first time. Speechless Couple. The couple that no one ever
talks about because they don't have the words to explain them or the people
to compare them to.
Speechless Couple.

Unfinished poem.
“That dream only needs a speech to bring about the change the world has been waiting for,
never be speechless no matter what; you have something to say...”
Felix Joseph.o
SPEECHLESS!
A feeling contends to conquer me
Perhaps, I wanting to defeat it
Indeed, my irritability of the obvious
My contest to make it plain, baffles me
My best try,
Fry me to cry
Helpless my mouth
It cries echoes is speechless
When truth mutates to odium
Falsehood applauded as in a stadium
Avalanche of wrongs
Beaten into a compendium
Corruption celebrated in ovation
Justice, yet foreign in a nation
In reckless abandon,
The games rule is impunity
Flaunting absurd rights as immunity
Shame like a name
Honored as fame
Speaking the more
They have colonized the peak
Your audio, print and visual ranting
Concludes you an ant
A pens ink, as tears
Their brick hearts, quickly ignores
What then unlocks their hearts mystery?
Power emitting from the army’s canon?
Perhaps, the pens might
May cause a rethink
Yes a reflection amidst the stink
Confronts all loudly
Speechless is the act of the feel
Yet, still I dare to make a speech
A speech for my compatriots
A speech desiring a change
Yes! A speech to propel the speechless
Am speechless, yet not lacking in speech
Speechless is all it makes me feel
A speech can break the chains
Being speechless is not a gain
It germinates pain, like rain
Speak and rule the peak
Roar to unseat the freak
Shout and alarm the weak
Sing a tune, their hearts will break
Cry, your tears may cajole compassion
Yes! A speech ushers the change
The villains abhor a change
Truly, a speech moulds them speechless
A speech a world desire
Lacking in speak, all backfire
yet a speech will save the day?
Why speechless?
Just a speech of change will unveil the dream
yes! A dream for real change.

Speechless at the sight of you
Breathless I can’t hold this feelling too
Hopeless someone else first found you.
My nightmares hold me down
And take away my voice
I try and try to yell
It's someone from hell
He floats around me late at night
And holds me down with all his might
Waits for me to fall into that state of mind
State of mind where I'm asleep
But hear and see and feel it all
My parents are who I try to call
Petrified to fall
To fall into this state of mind
Where I have no control
When the devil grasps my soul
A time he can conquer my mind and body
D'ya notice how handsome
This dude is today
Bet you're speechless
And totally amazed
Can't imagine the difficulty
You haven't a clue
To wake up, such a specimen
While maintaing my cool
Now you may think my beano
Is too big for my britches
But it comes with the accolades
So I scratch where it itches
Us guys are real fortunate
So what can I say
It's a cross we must bear
That we live with each day
Sure gets annoying
Those pretty young fillies
Constantly hounding me
To show them my willy
Now a little bit of smut
Has crept into my verse
Please forgive me P-Soupers
It could be a lot worse
D'ya notice how handsome
This dude is today
Betcha you're speechless
And totally amazed!

Speechless
Yet with mountains to speak
Are you a magician?
What’s your trick?
I feel numb
Every time I stare
Into your beautiful eyes
Down to your cheeks
I always freeze
Failing to spit
My heart out
Dying to tell you
You are all I think about
You, you make me stupid
Crazy, doesn’t even define it
You are the reason
I just smile when we meet
I wish you could read
The story behind those squeezed cheeks
When I don’t say much
Just know I can write
