Long Day of silence Poems

Silence, 
We define it as the complete absence of sound but this definition fails to capture the profundity of the subject.
As humans, our earliest existence is shrouded in obscurity and silence. 
Sperm penetrates ovum and...

I lie, naked, cast aside in the shadows,
My flesh, bare, crumbles among the carcasses of half-dying thoughts.

I stare upon myself—
Is this truly I,
This forsaken creature,
Smiling with bitter contentment at my eternal decay?
Is this endless humiliation
Truly...

I gave a piece of myself,
Something gentle and true
Trickling with teardrops,
Melting the darkness, the fear
With kindness and carefully 
Laced feelings, beauty – honesty
Sincere as the wind, rustling
Laughter from the dawn
Where I laid up all my...

When everything in life comes to its sweltering end

There is someone whom we can depend
Shattered dreams hopeless moments & lost memories
A twilight vision can evoke then elevate to lift one's soul...
Just to be with you...

a question to all the women! 

why do you think you're weak? 
why do you let the society believe your timid and meek? 
why don't your display your rage? 
why do you let yourself be...

True love is when you don’t look at your wife’s past.
But you envision the future, trying to make the relationship last.
It is when you fight and sometimes cut the string between you, the rope.
But always...

You’re gone, well that’s okay
But where do I place my longing of habits that intertwined with yours and your belongings
My dependency for you drags 
Sweating, suffocating
I wish you’d stayed, but really it was a blessing...

Silent sturdy nothing ringing through my desolate unforgiving ears
A pin drops, a heart stops, a cry, a scream, still nothing phases my hearing of silence
My mind is so noisy sometimes but makes no difference to...

Exhaustion was a burden she would always have to carry
A lingering shadow that gave her no peace 
Even haunting her in her sleep
Her most notable feature
Was her eye bags so heavy
They begged to be heard
Screamed...

Country Cafeteria

		in Shelby County,
		Illinois, 1989

The two weeks
I spent in that small town
on assignment, I saw no blacks 
except for two older women 
regal in every way, 
hair coifed in silver gray,
working in the Country Cafeteria.
They...

In an age of cheap poets and marketplace philosophers,  
When words intertwine beautifully but lack depth,  
My contemporaries have already given me the greatest reward,  
Their indifference, their silence, heavy like a...

Hectic day, the device beeped incessantly:
Salient, superficial, attended all, not to skip, 
the vital  from the plethora of logs. 

Voices buzzed  interminably : known, alien, 
the bulk superficial and unknown;
Irritated, lulled the apparatus...

I long for silence
a day in the sun
when all these harsh whispers 
are quiet and undone

I hear an angel somewhere
calling falling
softly in his rage of flight
burning out in the twilight


A prayer in silence is a...

I could feel this coming before it came-one 
week she wrote me less-the next, not at all-
No calls-No visits-No letters...

She was gone

And a great sadness over shadowed my life-
Each day that silence worked on me-I...

She wears her silence like a veil
Stitched with echoes of nights unseen,
Where shadows whisper fractured tales,
Of love that turned to something mean,
A heart once full, now torn between.
His voice, a storm that splits the sky,
His...

The geometry of silence
			Is like
The weather of a melancholic
			Day,
Sometimes beautiful,
Sometimes foreboding,
But always needed sometimes, 
			Sometimes.

The geometry of silence turns
			And twists
And is not perfect until
		You need it to be.
		Need it to be.

After a day when silence...

As I claim my own parcel of solitude
from yesterday's banging boom,
I see heaven expanding through you
in me: fireflies  glow  rare as Sunday’s bliss,
never mind if there is a call for patience
when holy hours...

The day isn't so far,
To meet you,
That day my palms are shivering to shake my hand to your hand,
Let's meet then..!!!

The day isn't so far,
To meet you,
That day,I'm in your eye balls,
My blushes blinks your...

I am surrounded by a palette of gray,
These colors are always visible in silence.
There is nothing good around
I'm getting deeper and deeper.

The complexity of life is already off the scale
And the silence is deafening.
Someone is...

I should’ve prepared
For this vow of silence
But I had no idea
Today was for alliance

You’re bullied and torn
And words are buried
By the close minded ones
Who make themselves adversaries

Why tear down others
Because of their love
Some dude doesn’t...

Tumbled hair eyes sapphire with twinkling stars           
Never to be missed to kiss were her pouty lips.
She accepted a man who offered her bounties.
Knowing there...

At the end of the day the silence is real
My peace of mind seems to be what it steals
Thoughts fly by much like a freight train
I wonder to myself is any of this sane?

Rainbow Colored Camouflage


Screaming from within a day of “silence”
quieting all questioners
hiding beneath
the exclusive inclusion of
Rainbow Colored Camouflage

Demanding
a safe space,
a free voice,
equality
in all things.

Liberated victims
who would vanquish
all who disagree,
question,
inquire.

Intolerant
of those who
do not understand
such defiance.

Valiantly defending
a Rainbow...

raindrops then begin to actually fall on my head
however that is okay
