The Quiet Roar

Deafening thunder,
cries from down under

Voices of silence
—lost in the wind

The Deafening Silence of the Thrusters

I'm shocked
one of many
in shock
aboard the gin palace
lost far from the pleasure dome
somewhere between 
the Moon and Mars.

Hold the applause, I’m not dead yet
she said, in deafening soft voice
you wish to sing, to dance, rejoice;
give me another cigarette.

Your Deafening Silence

The silence of your speech,
it was for me the absence
 most glaring  and further
deafening
that in this life I harkened
 and felt... !

Something More

The silence surrounds me.
It’s deafening.
The emptiness that fills the room,
is suffocating.
All alone.
I sit and wait.
For something more.

Insomniac

Nestled justly,
the thief he slumbers
sprawled spreadeagled 
upon my bed.
By witching hour
his deafening snore
drives one to ...

Lumbering lethargy.

Premium Member Powder Keg

fiery passion
explodes like a powder keg
a deafening bang!

Premium Member Deafening Silence

It was Father's Day Sunday ~
We knew it might be his last.
Still the phone never rang.
Did our best to hide the hurt.

Premium Member Silence

Why is it in the loneliness of the evening
when she is feeling vulnerable…
and small
the silence that surrounds her
is the most deafening sound of all?

Premium Member The Noises

the noises
and quiet 
of the everyday
are deafening
and break down
the brain cells 
one by one
day by day
cell by cell
until one day
all are gone

Deafening Silence

It's  here,it's everywhere

Fogging up the place
Crowding up my space
Echoing in my mind
lengthening the time

What's here,nothing only

#So lonely
sad

Premium Member News from Lilliput

The deafening beat of a centipede's feet
as he goes strolling down the street
is the jangled fate of a snail who skates
and slowly, silently reverberates.

Entranced By

Entranced by 
The deafening thud
Of your beating heart
Pulsating upon my ear
A rhythm produced by
God’s will and want
The only song 
I ever want to hear

I was so angry
His betrayal screamed through me
Deafening my heart
I yearned for revenge, but then
Sweetest forgiveness soothed me

Et Tu

Contagion of anxiety,  
a blanketing wind 
Deafening all
with the force of its emptiness
Reclaiming the silence
—in betrayals of fear

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)

Resonance of a Lost Love

resounding bittering
     lacerating and
     painful deafening ,
     tremendous scream
      is the sound
     of a ruined love...
     so adrift, so astray !

Silence

Voices 
I have heard many
Echoes of the past
The murmurs of the future 
And the rattle tattle of the day
You know the most deafening voice
It is the voice of SILENCE.

The Silent Breath

Do you hear that
Listen very closely 
It’s so loud and deafening
Now that’s what true silence is
Now do you feel that
The breath you were unconsciously holding fade away.

Her Storm

Tears run down her face falling to the ground
From the sky lightening flashes with every piece of her that dies 
The deafening crash of thunder covers the sounds of her cries

Lady

Lady,
The Silence of your Beauty is deafening--
Every moment, every breath...
And though bittersweet is the pain that we are not
At least it is for me to keep

You say everything and it means nothing.
You say nothing and it means everything.
You keep quiet and the sound is deafening.
Your answers to questions are not worth the noise.
