Silence amongst us, speaking its lonely words,
We hear naught, for naught is heard....

Need a break from my brain
from the demons clawing 
on locked doors.
My depression is like a sinking
ship on still waters, 
calm before the storm
Wanting to break free from 
This smile I've built...

still running deep:

like the calm before the storm:

like glittering veins of fool's gold,

a mirage beneath the desert sun:

friendship, camaraderie,

only politics-deep,

only religion-deep....

The calm before the storm:
the demons are at bay;
if it’s all the same, Lord,
let’s just keep it that way.

I’m going to need your help
so they won’t come to play;
I’m calling on your mercy,
new each and every day....

There never was such a thing as peace. 
it simply can never be the norm.
This thing you call ‘peace’ is sadly, not peace at all!
It is simply another ‘calm' …before the storm!!!

A great saying states there is usually a calm before the storm
How the feeling is frightening when it comes before a full moon
The nighttime storms can at times bring great fear and excitement

Somehow, silence speaks more than words.
Sometimes it's peaceful, sometimes it's not.
Sometimes, it's the calm before the storm.
And sometimes, it is the answer to the war.
But silence- it speaks the heaviest words of them all....

the peace that surpasses all understanding
is the knowledge that things will be okay
even though you dont know how
that there is a calm before the storm
a soft blanket to keep you warm
and a galaxy of wonders 
waiting to be explored...

Poetry

It is our dreams and failures,

It sounds like the rain and thunder,

It looks like the calm before the storm,

It feels like a never-ending rollercoaster,

It makes me feel sick.

Its always been the same crucible
,burn the midnight oil,
welcome to the new heap
dig the new shovel
Life in a private nunnery
waiting for euphoria
for someone to offer her a miracle
Like the calm before the storm
Shes so grateful
all awash in the World

On a night so
calm but shadowed,
as the calm begins 
the storm,

there’s a hast 
of almost glowing,
and a dark
begins to form,

quiet sense appears 
to beacon,
as the unsecure
is born,

feel the breeze 
of melting silence,
feel the rage until
the dawn....

From out of the womb we are born into a storm.
Like a cacoon emerges a butterfly.
Uncertain of what each day will bring.
We rise and except the offering.
The womb is the calm before the storm.
Where we form and are equipped with whatever we are dealt.
With only one way out....

You will think of me
when your mouths collide,
for your body will become numb.

Her breath will wither
like smoke in the air,
and I will fill your lungs.

Like blood in your mouth
you will taste my lips,
I am the poison on her tongue.

What destroys you 
is not our demise,
but the calm before the storm....

The calm before the storm
remain shapeless
to assume any form
step into the strange
to get a good understanding
of the norm
why be symmetrically perfect
when you can be perfectly deformed
I've been a geek nerd freak
black sheep since I was born
I may not weild any weapons 
but my tongue is like a double edge sword...

As a cold night slips away
And the new day begins,
Gray clouds move in
With a stillness in the air
 -  A storm is brewing -
It can be felt in each breath
With more snow on the way
It is what they mean…
By the calm before the storm
All is quiet, nature waits
Maybe, this is how the birds know?

And now it feels calm--
the thunder stopped,
the clouds turned blue,
the wind stopped hissing,
and the birds are singing.
It smells like sun and fresh cut grass
it feels like a warming blanket--
like a line of sun rays hitting my skin.
And I find myself smiling again,
laughing at the sky,
smiling at my phone.
But will it last?
It never does....

I’m peaceful a peaceful man by nature, 
So I keep my mind in the bosom of my palms,
Therefore I always keep an open mind. 
Yet I’m still a character, who lacks awareness
For I am not aware of how I can turn your ignorance to gen
Quite frankly it is not bliss, you cease to think 
And lack the empathy to want to change,
It is Evolution Nulled Down
The panicle to the calm before the storm...

There is a calm before the storm.
Things are weird after the norm.
You look the same before a change in form.
It all happens so fast.

Paint peels off aging walls.
Something starts before it stalls.
You must answer and then give calls.
Nothing ever really last.

Vice versa.
Rearrange,right now somethings do not change.
For they may stay right or wrong.
But surely not for long....

There is this pause before a storm,
Before the sky take monsterous turn,
While the birds still sing there song,
And kid still laugh and play.

But then the birds stop singing,
And children go inside, 
And then the rain begins to fall,
It starts out slow then goes a little faster,
Till it sounds like kettle corn on my roof,
Then I ask myself what happened to the rain calm before the storm....

the silence is surreal
the calm before the storm
a reprieve to be cherished
knowing it won’t last
how I long to prolong
and stretch it
make it linger
have it engulf me
swallow me
to lose myself
in its serenity
