Deaf Poems

I’m deaf not broken

I’m deaf not broken 
just differently wired.
My ears went on strike and were never rehired.

They packed up and left not leaving a note, 
Just departed my head without taking a coat.

I walk in a room, 
people chatter and play,
I nod like a expert, 
not a clue what they say.
Was it “You look great” or “You’ve

Deaf to Me

The only time I feel alive
Is when I feel like Im about to die
Ive cried all the tears  I can cry
voice gone from asking why,
Holding hands running away
....No goodbyes
Lost together, losing ourselves 
Too proud to ask for help
Tired &  way more than shotout
Full of so much regret & doubt
Try to drown out all

RESURRECTED DEAF

	RESURRECTED DEAF

God heard and answered;
We seemed not to have heard Him: 
Loud justice echoed!

Echo in deaf ears

Lost deep in an echo chamber~
where I talked and my eardrums beat ceaselessly,
ricocheting voices of ghosts masked in agony,
tiptoeing faintly,
their feet blurred by the hallucinations roaming the night.

The emptiness copied the echo of my voice
and sent it far into the dark night~
where some owls were howling and some birds were bedding their young—
but they all

Lost All Sense

I gave you everything I had
All of me
I held nothing back
I believed
You were a man of integrity
But you were less than honest
You broke every single promise
You made me.

I've lost all sense
I just can't perceive
How you could use me
And just leave
I'm blind to the sight
Of your face
I'm numb to the feel
Of your embrace
I try to breathe

A silence exponential

i speak
my words fall to the wayside
off a cliff into the great abyss

i hear myself
but no one else takes notice
as if i'm walking through
a fog that's dense
and everyone is blind

i speak yet
no one hears a word i say
i'm wading trough
a pool of driftwood
i may as well join in
and float towards
the great unknown

i'm alone while
everyone around

Telepathic

My ears are sealed, forever bound by quiet/
A world of stillness, no sound can riot/
Yet my mind pulses, alive and aware/
With whispers and images you unknowingly share/
Every thought, unspoken and raw/
Every dream, every flaw/
They flow to me, a bittersweet stream/
Of joys, of sorrows, of hope, of esteem/
Your words, unuttered, cut me deep/
Your judgements linger, wounds

What It's Like Being Deaf

My ears knows only silence/
It's an empty darkness, a quiet void/
The world snaps, grows frustrated, mad/
When words must be repeated/
But they don't see the truth of our quiet lives/
It's not our fault, so please be patient/
Growing up, through every season of life/
We face the bullies,  the ones who take advantage/
They don't understand, we are

The Lonely Road

I walk a solitary path, a reclusive soul/
Lonely whispers echo where shadows console/
Nobody speaks, nobody sees/
I'm lost in their world, like a silent breeze/
In public, I vanish, an invisible man/
An outcast, a shadow in their grander plans/
Yet within me burns a heart so true/
A Romeo's passion, longing for breakthrough/
I may be deaf, but I hear

Echoes of the Silent Shore

As a deaf person who hears with heart
I view sea sounds with emerald eyes
The crashing waves seem to charge
And sea gulls wings animate their cries

I smell blue water and it seems to me
It’d be a shame not to “hear” with feet
As I splash with delight sinking in ecstasy 
Like tan sand I give into power

Deaf ears hear

Date me and in my life leave an impart,
Daze me with love, none can tear us apart.
Dare to allow my love into your heart.

Dear, just no longer set my love apart,
Deaf ears must listen to this from the start.
Deal with me this way, and we'll play our part.

Draw inspiration from a working chart,
Drab emotions can't

Dry Eyes In Time

Teal tears cactus cries
Falling like feather on deaf ears
True love hears help heal

seeing deaf, hearing blind

Those memories won’t propel the future,
Don died in less than 24 words spoken,
In less than 24 hours lived he grazed the grace of time,
To end up in a grave that was premature.
The lie involving love and life is consistently incomprehensible,
For we were too young to know of their existence in the end,
The end still comes

Blindsided by Dust

Her whispers of "love," a suffocating embrace,
She claimed I was her air, her very space.
Blinded, I clung to a love's sweet charade,
Ignoring whispers, the warnings that frayed.

Smiles, kisses, a tapestry brightly spun,
Purpose bloomed, a battle fought and won.
Deaf to murmurs, blind to crimson signs,
Lost in a dream where forever entwines.

Now dust settles, a truth I
