sad (double tetractys)

i
always
know you’re sad
when you answer
me in a nearly inaudible drone
the eardrum of my heart nearly bursting
from the thunder
clap of tears
falling
down...

Crack your fingers if you will, destroy bone
Sound disturbingly travels
From knuckle to eardrum

Just like fire that melts iron, smoldering
Burns the skin, blackens the soul
Scar permanently shown

when you answer
me in a nearly inaudible drone
the eardrum of my heart nearly bursting
from the thunder

The wind takes an eardrum,
and fills it with hail.

The waves crash beyond me
on an unbeaten trail.

There are men here who think
they’ve found victory and wealth,

but the giant’s run-off,
and left for his health....

NEARBY SOUNDS.


Sound waves reach eardrum that is,
a cocktail of cooler,phone,
mixer,kids play,cats meow,
nightingale's koo hoo.

October hushes
a cold snap, baldachin for 
red, brown and gold leaf. 
Indian summer waver, Indian rope trick 
sent to douse earthen world shackle.
Bogus heat pump transience.
Polar air mass scatters migrant bird 
on vibrant amber.
Ocean gust saline coated whisper
 to autumn eardrum host.
Nightscape shadows rudely cut across 
the afternoon event space.

So vast in it’s scope
but silent is it’s sound
everything stops nothing heard
deafening indeed like lifeless hound

The human ear wait’s so eagerly
stretching itself for to listen
wanting a sound in their eardrum
but that’s nothing just simply missing

In this unheard silent sound
one feels such peace so still
thinking the world has stopped
don’t be fooled silence always will

(Silent thoughts and what it means to me)...

There is a thin line between anxious, nail-biting life and bitter buried death. 
Though we tread carefully the tightrope has been lit by the match of time. 
Let us hem these charbroiled rends that the ones we loved have spoiled, in an attempt to pull us down. 
With heart mottled arms we reach into perilous seas. 
To find a siren singing her eardrum bashing hymn. Is this love? 
I think I will just hook my baited heart and cast once more. Bite.

Burned and bluffed,
Fooled and ridiculed,
Etched in her stare
Was a frostbitten frown.

Fallacies and fact
Mixed and commingled,
Truth was perception,
Betrayal was abound. 

Heckled by hissing  
Snakes that side-wind,
Unable to decipher
The colors of venom.

Fraudulent, fictitious,
Fabricated intentions,
The appetite of predators
Is growing unfettered.

Begging and pleading,
Carnivores are calling,
Relentless persuasion
Knock at her eardrum....

High fidelity
reverberates well
truth of God's message
ringing yon eardrum
reaching depths of heart...

...toward freedom
soul's salvation
liberating
faith to spread news...

...echoing
love and grace*
joy of peace...

...clear for
all to...

...hear!

*Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
