Hearable Poems | Examples


Sounds of Silence

In the silence lies a mortal wound
a voiceless arrow has struck
dumbly it thunders 
identifying 
final innocence crushed

Exquisite is the torture of a silent stare
holding every vanquished embittered care

Somewhere beyond an emotional peek
where tears find a language to speak

The silence of utter failure
the throws between a life and it's death
the hush of a dream at once impoverished
as you witness it's final breath

Sound buried in the void of explanation 
mute the muse of words
suspended only notwithstanding
owned hope of his and hers

An endless pause hangs in between 
as your grip slips knowing what it means

Words so deafening only silence can bear them
when the strong have no defiance left to live
in the soundless silence already condemning
the living who can't endure it again

In this silence so inaudibly hearable 
so cruel so brutal it's sound
the pitch of which is so unbearable 
the deaf cry... Turn it down!
