hear the groan of an old man getting up from his chair
hear the rumble of a hungry tummy
hear the clink sound of a glass toast
hear the click sound of the light being turned on and off
hear the honk of the car trying to get through...

So telling of emotion I’ve used you
At times I’ve quite abused you

You have told of emotion I would have left hidden
Thoughts I’ve had that are forbidden

You raise too quickly in surprise
And lower distinctly at an impending demise

But the thing I love that you do best
Is...

The awkward silence beween us,
Speaks volumes through the tension in the air,
I wonder what I said this time,
or maybe its because I was just "there"

What happened to the couple who
together could withstand hell,
Now I watch every move I make,
as if I am walking on eggshells

There is page one of volumes.
It has writing but from planned illiteracy.

Pain marks many pages but there is beauty.
As dark people, we gave our light to the world.

Where there was death, we made life.
We had no voice, yet we were heard.

Our bodies were chained but...

Acta Non Verba... Speaks Volumes

The above ad hoc Latin catchphrase,
(concatenated with two English words),
I regale chance reader
immediately sets ablaze
title of poem with timeless adage,
aptly suits this solitary

older male, whose daze
spent on planet Earth
aimless curriculum vitae
configures a zigzag maze
significant blocks of time
poorly aye now appraise

and rue...

i’ve never seen out a window ~ maybe you can help describe the scene 

said the blind man to Siri ~ asking her to throw light on his life’s dream 

a chatbot overheard Siri’s muteness ~ and typed I see what she means

i may not say it much,
but i always enjoy the soul of your love
everyday it is even more seasoned
i savor the taste of it in every way more and more each day
your eyes tell me that you know how i feel
my eyes tell you that...

My prayer in silence, was it ever heard?
For you did not say a single word.
I bow my head in utter defeat.
Time after time this has repeat.
I give it all to you my Lord.
Without your existence I thirst for life no more.
I am grateful for all...

hands so strong is their day, now showing signs of vulnerability

Volumes


With broken steps
and weakened feet
she treaded cautiously 
tickling the leaves 
as they began to sing
a rustling hymn...

If I could find words how I love you to say
No words ever said can my feelings convey
If I could express my love in words or sentences
They may sound like a baby’s first utterances
Your love is even more… our souls know well
Your sighs mesmerize me...

Let your action speak volumes 
Always keep your head up 
It all starts with you 
Continue to rise towards the top 
Enlighten and empower 
Enhance your vision
Believe in yourself 
And make it happen...

I see but cannot believe my eyes, 
I feel but cannot consolidate, 
I hear but cannot accept the lies, 
I taste and cannot ingest the hate. 
I drink but cannot allay my thirst, 
I talk but cannot complete the speech, 
I fear but cannot abide...
