Unheard

it's like a singer
performing on stage
without vocal chords
his words fall
hushed in silence
like a deafness
upon ears
that hear

Driving Miss Daisy Crazy

She feigned deafness hearing Hoke's corny jokes,
often why the chicken crossed the road,
Hoke yelled louder,
broke sound barrier,
Miss Daisy at the end of her rope.

Day-after-day the widow
"listens out for the ordinary" 
and hears only susurrant voices
until deafness overcomes her

Premium Member SHROUD OF DUSK

Day's drama comes to a drop
Deep blinds disseminated
Disclosing the doors of dusk
Deathly deafness developed
Darkness deters and dwindles
Discomfort and drudgery
Downtime for an endless deal

Intro

After the death of...
Deafness the width a charmer the
Light of the shield from a rattler
Imposes a threat to our imagery
After the death of our sense of roaming
To the reincarnation of character
      Unwoven...

Last Sayonara

Smell
the most
precious
and last sense
to go

Its
lingering
fragrance
vanishing
slow

A 
single
carnation
a bright
yellow rose

Through 
deafness
and darkness
till death  
—wafting so

Premium Member Ludwig Van Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven raised music to the plane of art
The power of his composition conveyed the cadence of heart
Fused vocal and instrumental melodies in Ninth Symphony unique
Struggled heroically with deafness though life turned silently bleak.

Craft In the Vast Outermost V2

Open yourself
to a sound
(the spinning of the planets)/
deafness and darkness
(the pair; duality!)//
multiplied by know'd resolution.
Step you onto surfaces
spinning in outerness
climb ladders of terrest;
the earth has its foot
on man's chest!

Charming and Calming Plugs

When silence knock the door
After all fights to be calmed
Plugged my ear to hear music
Pray to my dark deafness.

Survival of basic skills 
Become a necessity as breath.
Plugged to calm to unbearable one.
What the music accomplish 
In hands of capital gain.

Tangerine Trees And Marmalade Skies

An enigma
wrapped in mystery
covered in secrets
risking hell
A legend
from the ages
bereft of sages
casting spells
The message
nondescriptive
in ephemera
laden tongues
Lucy in the sky
bejeweling
screaming deafness
— silence won

Blind

Bringing out the light from the dark
Expunge evil from a makers mark

God cleanse it, the deftness aptly applied
Dumbness and deafness, captured astride

Too daft to get it, to pray, instead let it
Too deep inside, eating, without the wit

To see the honest truth
See yourself to the booth

Premium Member Could I Stand It

Living in a world of darkness.
Could I do it?
Could I imagine it?
Could I relate?
Could I?

Living in a silent world.
Could I do it?
Could I be this brave?
Could I stand it?
Could I?

Living in a world of hate.
Could I do it?
Could I survive?
Could I glean any happiness?
Could I?

Deafness

In a way I envy deaf people. 
For they never have to hear
The words that leave your mouth.
They don't have to hear the wars
Of insults that rage in school
Halls.
In a way I mourn deaf people.
For they never get to hear
Spoken poems or a piano's 
Music.
Which is better,
Never to hear guile
Or
Never to hear beauty.

Erupts

erupts Does refusing to see, cloud your vision again, Does refusing to hear, bring on deafness my friend If you close all the doors, does silence descend, Till lonliness intervenes, Refusing to love, Brings bad tidings and then, Solo the path, & solitudes, when, Set on them chickens, like clukky ole hen, Till love erupts on the scene.

Anatomically Astronam-Us

I’d orbid any suns with you,
or earths.

Together casting shadows,
Proclaiming insignificance
of light or night or day or
time.

Silently swooning weightless,
airless.

Compositions of magnificence
crashing through stars
and holes of darkness.
Big, bold balls of deafness
with graves of blazing fire.

Nautical pilots of our sky
orbiting each other.

General Convocation

I convoke you,
I summon you
in the midst of deafness
and paleness of humanity
aimlessly...
Let's walk following the light
that's up there...
Light that you extrude all evil,
all our fears...
So let's walk toward the meeting
 PF the unknown paradise
that we were promised...
Let's walk without looking back,
so that we don't become stones
loose on the journey... !

Making a Day

Failure of its survival replaces itself to hate 
Obsession blunts notorious of speech stones others
Nightmares of childhood turns joy to reclaim deafness

Making a day is paying debt without escape
Gathering family is a pray or a nightmare
History of affair be the judge becoming a pirate
Before turning glory to a peeple stone
Recall its self remininesence live in each day

Dad Was a Deaf Crab

Dad was a deaf crab
limerick



                                    Dad was a deaf crab very bad
                                      My mom was naturally sad
                                             Uca the fiddler
                                          The greatest riddler
                              Riddled dad's deafness- deadbeat dad

Embracing Silence

Silence covers all with bold embrace
Her hands and fingers dance with lissom grace

At mesmerising patterns flowing sport
Tumult begins to fade from conscious thought

Bringing a taste of peaceful solitude
That often in our hectic lives eludes

Although the world of noise goes unperceived
The loss has never given cause for grief

With joyful heart embracing life to full
All other senses deafness over-rule
Form: Rhyme

Intimations

The sky broke, it did not rain, the clouds did not part, a faded blue did not fade away, behind that, an intimation, a featureless back-lit gray watched. Eyes blinked, heads turned, a silent cacophony plucked at a collective deafness. Some presumed, other's assumed, but all knew that the space between us, and the All, was as fragile as the air in our lungs or those turbulent skies behind our eyes.
