Mute Joy

just your being here,

                such wordless comfort, wondrous,

                              we two are now us.

Mute Point

You whine, you moan, complain and groan,
on & on, a cyclic whinging drone.
I listen patiently – what a glutton.
But how I wish you had a mute button.

Premium Member But Not Mute

My foe, shivering
I drew my sword, glistening
Swooning dead away, he, hushed...
Over to him, ran
I, swashbuckling... Arising
he, screaming madly... Deaf, I

Loud TV ads drive me insane!
They're drilling right into my brain! 
But, hey! This is cute;
There's a button called Mute!
-Do you get it or shall I explain?

I'M Not Mute

All the words I cannot say,
even though I'm not mute, 
all the tears & fears I cry and hide,
everything I keep inside all comes out with 
one thing in mind...

Mute It

What causes those daft in the head To hurt others with things they’ve said If you must then vent Your jealous intent Perhaps you should mute it instead.

Mute

Silence wraps itself around my senses Soundless visions tiptoe through my mind In my world, sound has been suspended I hear your voice only with my eyes And quietly, with my hands I speak

Giving Voice

Your eyes glisten
and a tear forms. 
Your Braille tongue
mouths a silent vocabulary.
The ‘O’ of your mouth
spells out the anguish within,
and with mute hands
you give voice to
an ear-piercing scream.

Premium Member Am I on mute?

does no one hear me
are my words merely empty space
does no one speak my language
am i just a stranger in a crowd
alone in this sea of bodies
that perpetually pass me by

Mute Love

The sounds you hear
Your lovely fear 
Lay down and close your eyes 
As angels sing you sweet lullabies
When your heart flies like doves 
Spreading all your love
Sweet soul underground 
No more love to go around

Mute Talking

I often stay mute
             not to touch fire
             in the world...
             I although speak
             so that the world
             Will not explode
             in lies
             and bombs ...

Mute Monorhyme

Bloody windows grin with people looking in
Four empty spaces pulsating from within
So many dreams don't fit .. feel  spasms in my chin
Those useless lips of mine can't tell me if I scream....

The Devil Mute

Virtue when expressive,
deafens bad intention

Its voice to live beyond,
excuses and retort

A minstrel plays a song unsung,
as sages rise to dance

All words rephrased in lyric tones
—the devil mute and gone

(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)

Mute

I stop at times 
My thoughts pause or I mute them all .

Nope ; I recline in some other thoughts 
Some other savage  thoughts 
Without a language ,without a dream 

I mute them all .
Like those creepy eyes ,thoughts spring up again after  an unquenched lustful ******.

The Vindictive Con-Artistry Of
The Warmth Of Conviction.

What A Slow And
Penetrating Loneliness.

Isolated In
Wishless Retribution.

Helplessness
Exploited.

Representing.

Unique.

Wordlessness.

Sympathy's Conspiring Pride...

When the heart breaks

When the heart breaks like a stone,
sometimes we lose our words
just like a pre-civilization mute
and we cry and moan,
in hurt, in anger, and in deepest of pain,
and then we regain
the words, as we put the pieces of our heart 
back together,
put on the mask and start to act again.

As Mute and Deaf Speak

I watched in sheer amazement
At their lively repartee
Of such silent engagement
Discussed extensively.

Expressed in small hand gestures
And eloquent vivid signs,
Messages sent were sure
Relayed as they designed.

As mute and deaf speak
Broken are the barriers
We cannot call them weak
In life, they can hear better.

Mute

I am mute.
I never speak.
To other people's voices I kneel
I've never been very happy
holding everything in
It's ironic because the one
day I actually made noise
It was right before I hung myself
I screamed.
Finally people could hear
Finally people could see
But it was a late sentiment
Because I could no longer breath

Mute Song

Raining metallic drops
Pounding on my head,
A drum roll...

Raining metallic drops
Slide along my hair,
A violin serenade..

Raining metallic drops
Bouncing from my eyelashes,
A piano symphony..

Raining metallic drops
Makes mascara disappear,
The audience applauses..

Raining metallic drops,
I'll be thinking of you
Next time black clouds spit.

Mute Soundings

Trapped in between the lyric
and music
Wandering in a rhythm 
of lost expectation
Blaming each note still unplayed
and unwritten
The echoes distend
in a moment’s undoing 

Hearing a chorus
when no choir is present
Voices imagined
to sing my sequester 
Wandering aimless
through scores of abandon
Harmony denied me
—nightmarish and deafening

(Dreamsleep: May, 2023)

Mute

I’m sorry for using the L word,
And not saying it to you.
I’ve said it twice of late you see,
And both times far too soon.

The truth is I have wanted to,
And many times I’ve tried.
But I’d hate to face rejection,
A ‘no’ etched in your eyes.

But still, I plan to tell you straight,
And tear the veil away.
A word that has hidden far too long,
I’m no longer scared to say.

Dark Room Mute Whispers

Dark room mute whispers
Her Angel-breath a wind

Doubt forms a circle

Each blended acrylic memory
Paints pain in my beating soul

Doubt forms a circle

Each brushstroke thins the ghost
The still room blasts a symphony

Doubt forms a circle

“May the Circle be unbroken…”

					I want to remember
					Her eyes
					Moaning love
					In the laughing
					Summer sun

Where are you lingering?
you hide your fiery trail;
inspiration gleaming bright 
grows dim and deathly pale.

Secret whispered phrases,
hand over mouth are held
captive in a stagnant soul,
pure drops in fountains failed.

Beyond release tormented,
behind restraining bars
waiting for the night to swell
and birth abundant stars.

       Essentially noble
