Poetry,
not read with the eyes
or listened to with the ears
—when spirited through the soul

   Today I listened to too many ‘talking heads’
                                                     ~ and now I’m brain dead

For the way you fulfilled her desire.

the sound of life
that beating heart
struggled to be listened
under your breast

My voice is gone.

Just tired.

No one listened.

Repositioned

When I began speaking of others
they listened
others glistened 
-repositioned-
all of us
when sharing
we all grew
though
headaches from a few.

Premium Member Samson- the Musician

When Orpheus sang on his flute
All Nature listened falling mute
But when Samson sang
It sounded like a bang
That sleeping babies woke up with a jolt

Whispered Knowledge

Knowledge whispered in hushed tones,
he listened in silence and concentration all honed,
he now whispers to others-who may or may not listen the drone.

Left Standing I

You said
The things
We both new my heart needed to hear
Reluctantly,
I opened,
I listened,
I loved
So sad it is now,
That I am left wondering why?

Beauty of Words

Breath-sound-voice make words
They are listened to and heard
Their beauty takes wing
They speak their voice as they fly
Then burst as fragile balloons

"sssh!"

There was a pilot called bush
Who flew by the seat of his tush,
   His job was so tricky
   That he listened to dicky
And silenced his critics with shush!

Grandma

When you mention
The word tough that's
What she was, a lion
She kept the family together
Strong, tough and in order
And when she roared, everyone listened

Audience

In the impatient
     audience...
             was only
          listened
             any word,
      when nobody
          babbler
          spoke...!

your eyes i listened to

yours eyes were there
tell things i already knew 
you lied
but eyes i listened to
not the voice saying no
your wyes were warm
but they brought so much harm

Songbird

I listened to his sweet refrain,

How I loved his melody.

To my delight he sang again,

From the branches of a tree.

I imagined, that he'd sang for me.

I believed in God when I was seven

But changed my mind when I turned eleven

I listened to the word but all I heard

Was those who claimed they'd only see Heaven
